SKCP Annual Fundraising, Thank You!

We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our community! Not only did you help us meet our annual fundraiser goal of $6,000, you also went above and beyond to raise an additional $2,500. We’re excited to put these funds to work creating a cleaner, greener, and more connected South Kensington for all residents.

If the stories and accomplishments we shared last month have motivated you to get involved, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to us at info@southkensingtoncommunity.org. You can also find out more about SKCP’s neighbor-led committees by visiting our website.

With gratitude,
SKCP

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Thanks to you,
we've met our Annual Fundraiser goal!

We are so inspired by and thankful for your generosity, especially during these times that have made SKCP's work in the community even more critical. Your contributions will have great impact in our efforts to continue to serve our neighbors and expand our programs, and we will continue to highlight the "patches" of work we do as an organization through December 31st. That said, it's not too late to donate if you'd like to support these efforts as a part of the 2020 Annual Fundraiser!

Fund Thanksgiving Turkeys for Neighbors in Need

Thanks to the generous spirit of the community, the AACDC and SKCP were able to exceed our fundraising goal of last week!

This means we will be able to provide turkeys as a part of the weekly food distribution to families who are struggling through these times.

Thank you to each of you who donated. Continued appreciation to the Share Food Program and to Lost Bread Co. And thanks to Ellie for organizing the GoFundMe effort!

Fund Thanksgiving Turkeys for Neighbors in Need.

Over the past few months, the Arab-American Development Corps (AACDC) and the South Kensington Community Partners, (SKCP) have been distributing free food parcels to families in need at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Philadelphia. Every Saturday we serve healthy food for 250 families in our community and due to the hardships caused by COVID-19, we will be continuing to provide food assistance to these families over the months ahead.
As Thanksgiving approaches, we want to ensure every family has a special Thanksgiving meal. We want to provide a Thanksgiving turkey to every family but our funding is tight and we do not have the additional resources to provide the turkeys.

We need YOUR help! How you can help, clickhere.
