What We Do

We open our doors every day to walk alongside the homeless, hungry and hurting of Philadelphia so that they may experience the love of God through acts of mercy, dignity and respect. Our guests come for shelter and food, and also find a holistic, empowering refuge from the streets through deep, intentional care.

Meals

Philadelphia’s only provider of indoor meals EVERY day - 365 days a year, we serve up to 10,000 meals each month to anyone who walks through our doors.

Shelter + HOusing

As the city’s largest and longest-running shelter, we provide a safe, clean refuge off the streets along with deep, intentional engagement to see a long-term impact. 1/3 of all homeless men in Philadelphia are sheltered at Philly House each year.

Programs + Services

We join with our community partners to serve the homeless, hungry and hurting through a wide range of living, compassion-based programs, and services.

Why We Do It

We believe that everyone has God-given potential and the opportunity for transformation.

Quick-fix charity is never the ultimate solution. We activate healing, not handouts, through deep intentional engagement so that the homeless, hungry and hurting can achieve stability and self-sufficiency.

Our Christian faith is the foundation of everything we do and compels us to treat everyone—our guests, volunteers and donors—with excellence, dignity, and compassion (in full obedience to Jesus’ teaching in Mathew 25).

Providing Unconditional
Refuge and Hope

 

Help us provide hope to the homeless, hungry and hurting of Philadelphia.
