We have some exciting news to share with you! On Tuesday, May 3rd Bethesda Project is joining thousands of nonprofits nationwide in raising money to help improve our local communities. Last year Give Local America raised more than $68 million for local nonprofits, and the goal this year is to raise $100 million! This year is the first year that Give Local Greater Philly is participating and we are proud to be one of the first charities to join!

Bethesda Project provides emergency shelter, housing, and supportive services for thousands of homeless individuals in Philadelphia. By providing a home and a safe environment in each of our 13 sites throughout the city, homeless men and women are able to stabilize and regain their dignity and self-worth.

We need you to help us with four things:

1. Mark Give Local America on your calendar for May 3rd and bookmark this giving link: https://givelocalgreaterphilly.org/npo/bethesda-project

We can’t wait to celebrate the difference your generosity will make on May 3rd.
