Restoring Our Community Through Service

Getting food to underserved children
The city of Philadelphia is known as the poorest of the top 10 most populous cities in the United States. One of the continued crises that exist in our city is hunger and a lack of food for our families. We are continually seeking opportunities to partner with organizations throughout our city in hopes to bring an end to this increasing epidemic.

Helping our community get and stay employed
One way that we endeavor to close the gap on the economic disparities between those in our community and others, is by providing assistance and training for individuals who are looking for jobs and better jobs.
