Jane Addams Place

Welcome Back Saturday Service Project!
With Jane Addams Place

DAY: Saturday January 5th

TIME: 10am-2pm
PLACE: Jane Addams Place (a large former church building)
the corner of 43rd St. & Ludlow St, West Philadelphia, PA 19104
WHAT: Winter Craft Activities with homeless children

Recently re-opened, Jane Addams Place is a comprehensive emergency shelter for up to twenty-nine mothers with children in Philadelphia. At Jane Addams Place, Child and Family Advocates take a holistic framework in assisting residents by focusing on family systems and employing a trauma informed model so that families can regain and maintain permanent housing and employment.

Volunteers will work with 3-10 year olds on age appropriate reading and craft activities. We will then join all the residents for lunch and then help sort books for the library space for the children.

Notes: Lunch Provided! Please don't forget your signed permission slip. Need a permission slip? visit www.geocities.com/bwb_Philadelphia and click the P Slips link.
