Max Paul’s Central City Toyota proudly teamed up with Families Forward Philadelphia and The School District of Philadelphia on August 21st, 2014 to help with local families and children. University Volunteers were also on hand as book bags were given away to local children and everyone was treated to an exciting Pizza Party.
Families Forward Philadelphia’s mission is to help homeless families become healthy, productive, and self-reliant. They provide shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, intensive case management, and out-of-school education for the children and teens in their care. FFP plays an important role in offering a pathway out of poverty and homelessness in Philadelphia, supporting an average of 300 families annually across their programs, including over 500 children.
Tragically, homelessness frequently breaks up families, as a majority of shelter policies deny access to older boys or fathers. FFP is one of the few agencies in Philadelphia capable of housing the entire family, allowing both parents to be with their children during this time of crisis, and specifically designing programs to accept larger families and families with more acute issues.
