Travelers Aid Society of Philadelphia

As the CEO of Families Forward Philadelphia, it is a true pleasure (and pain!) to run this year's Broad Street Run in honor of the families that we serve.

Families Forward operates the largest shelter for families experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia. In addition to our 65-room emergency shelter, lovingly called our Family Residence, FFP also supports 70 families in permanent supportive housing throughout west and north Philadelphia.

Our mission is to help families experiencing homelessness stay together, strengthen individually and as a unit, and thrive in their community - you can join us in this mission by supporting my Broad Street Run fundraiser!

Additionally, the Foxwynd Foundation has made a $90,000 commitment to Families Forward and is looking for 90 new donors to join them in supporting Families Forward. Your first time gift of any size will unlock the potential of this generous gift!

I'm once again running in the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run 10-Miler! This year, I'm fundraising for Families Forward Philadelphia, a non-profit for which I serve on the Board of Directors.

FFP operates Philadelphia’s largest emergency shelter for families experiencing homelessness, serving 65 families nightly and maintaining 80 transitional and permanent supportive housing units in West Philadelphia.

Your donation will support FFP’s mission of helping families experiencing homelessness become healthy, productive, and self-reliant. Additionally, the Foxwynd Foundation has made a $90,000 commitment to Families Forward and is looking for 90 new donors to join them in supporting Families Forward. Your first time gift of any size will unlock the potential of this generous gift!

Hello, Harris and Kristin here!

We are challenging ourselves for our first ever city-to-shore 70 mile cycling ride from our home in West Philly to Atlantic City on Saturday,  June 18, with a rain date of Saturday, June 25. Help us make it meaningful by joining us in raising $1,000 for Families Forward Philadelphia. FFP is a non-profit organization in our neighborhood.
