Phillies Charities, Inc. Presents $1 Million to Project HOME to Help End Homelessness
None of us are home until all of us are home.
On Wednesday, May 1, the Phanatic made a major league surprise delivery at Project HOME’s 35th Anniversary Gala, jumping on stage to present a $1 million donation in support of their mission to end homelessness for good.
The $1 million donation will support Project HOME’s efforts in building 20 new respite beds at Sacred Heart Recovery Residence, creating 45 additional recovery units and strengthening the Epstein Street Medicine Program, which has a focus in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia – all of which will have a significant impact on ending homelessness.
The donation also served as a way for Phillies Charities, Inc. to honor Project HOME co-founders Joan Dawson McConnon and Sister Mary Scullion for their 35 years of impact in the community.
Project HOME has served as a national leader in providing comprehensive and effective services to persons experiencing chronic homelessness. The organization has over 1,000 units of housing and innovative healthcare, employment and education programs that help break the cycle of homelessness.
