Last year, thanks to our 5k efforts, Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network was able to prevent 38 families from being homeless. Our goal is to prevent homelessness for at least 60 families in the year ahead. All proceeds raised from our 5k will go to help pay back rents and expedite rental deposits for families. Help make sure that each child has a place to call “home”!

Eleven Chestnut Hill businesses are teaming up to host PIHN on the Hill Day, a community shopping and dining event on Sunday December 10, 2017 from 12-5 PM benefiting Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network (PIHN), an area congregational- based shelter, supportive services, housing and advocacy program for local families experiencing homelessness. The participating retail stores are offering refreshments, holiday cheer and donating a portion of sales to PIHN’s homelessness prevention, supportive services, shelter and housing programs for at-risk families.

“Chestnut Hill is one of my favorite places for holiday shopping”, said Cynthia LaLone, PIHN on the Hill event organizer “Here’s an opportunity to shop local, delight loved ones with gifts, and make a difference for our neighbors in need. For an extra special treat, shoppers will be serenaded by carolers and singers. Each host store will offer some refreshment or treat. I feel very fortunate to live in the Northwest corner of Philadelphia, in such a caring community!”

PIHN is also sponsoring its annual “Adopt a Santa” holiday match with local families in need.
