Why I love Arch Street Center: Being at Arch Street Center “fills” me, in that I always leave there feeling better than when I arrived. Volunteering and doing Board work at the Center empowers me to fulfill my goal of supporting those in my community that are vulnerable.

What is something interesting about you: I also volunteer for Off the Streets, whose mission is to help our homeless neighbors secure permanent housing with assistance for security deposits and donations of furniture to make their new permanent home comfortable and safe. We have recently been able to add Arch Street Center as a referral for Off the Streets, and we have assisted 7 members in their quest for a home.

“Apply these sublime and glorious truths to the situation now before you. Put away your race prejudice. Banish the idea that one class must rule over another. Recognize the fact that the rights of the humblest citizen are as worthy of protection as are those of the highest, and your problem will be solved; and, whatever may be in store for it in the future, whether prosperity, or adversity; whether it shall have foes without, or foes within, whether there shall be peace, or war; based upon the eternal principles of truth, justice and humanity, and with no class having any cause of complaint or grievance, your Republic will stand and flourish forever”  – F Douglass
