Project H.O.M.E.
When people ask us what it is that we find so meaningful in working with and for the Project H.O.M.E. mission, we have to go inward and follow the markers of heart and reason that led to this remarkable enclave — Project H.O.M.E.
We partner with Project H.O.M.E. not only because it is sorely needed, but because it is a strong, joyous, special place where human rights and dignity are prized and human potential is encouraged and nourished.
We strongly believe in their mission that seeks to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness by empowering individuals with skills, resources and the support they need to attain their fullest potential and a higher quality of life. While a large percentage of our volunteer time and funding is dedicated to the Honickman Learning Center and Comcast Technology Labs, the foundation also supports a number of activities that are part of the larger Project H.O.M.E. programs, services and facilities.
The foundation also helped to fund two supportive, affordable housing developments in Center City Philadelphia – Connelly House and Kate's Place. The foundation has also supported the start-up of a women's emergency respite center that operates at Project H.O.M.E.'s main center at 1515 Fairmount Ave. Volunteers are needed to help with this center; please call 215.272.7272 to help.
The Foundation support has also included start-up funding for the H.O.M.E. Page Café at the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Fran Egan Civic Award, and the North Philly Footstompers.
