Broad Street Love

Racist employee and Residents. Jessa and Chyna don't care when minority volunteers face racism from minority residents. I had employee tell me, "Will you help them or me?" In a weird sarcastic way. Others heard about this and found it rude. Including one of the residents. This resident said that they (the employee) probably treated you this way because you are not American and your skin color is brown. I said that I am indeed American, and brown skin color does not make me un-American. I spoke to Chyna (an employee) and another employee about this later. Chyna said that I could email her further. I did. But, she never responded. She also said that Email me and we can discuss this further. But, she never responded. I later reached out to someone named Jessa, via email. She said that Chyna vaguely told her some information about what had happened. I emailed Jessa the specifics. But she never got back to me. I wanted to make some printouts as a volunteer and possibly go to Broad Street Love day the Menders came by. Jessa just said that the Menders was a third party organization...never really followed up with a phone number or when I could find them at Broad Street Love. Did she not want me to return? Chyna never followed up with me regarding the printouts. ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Quick donation! Made my appointment online and I was immediately helped upon arriving. Well worth the experience. Highly recommended giving here.

A place and community with a Spirit 🐦 filled Sunday worship, and a warm hearted 💓 hospitality for all.

They were very polite and serve lunch to those who need it. They also pay for your ID if you have no money

It's awesome to have a place to receive your mail and small packages. The lunch they serve is a nice small meal of something almost fancy punched with good flavor. Their clothing closet has nice, decent attire. 👌 And the caseworker are kind and their the only ones, the only caseworker I've ever come into contact with for tackling problems who were motivated and eager to resolve issues...Sam helped me with a huge frustrating one and she git the job ✔️👍done! Relief! Great place!

A phenomenal organization and worshipping community! Tonight we sang Beyoncé, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Death Cab for Cutie, Bob Marley, and O Come O Come Emmanuel!

Hello Philadelphia, you majestic city. I would not have survived your streets had it not been for this place. Being homeless is like being in Indiana Jones 24/7 except you can really, truly die. I had my ID and personal belongings stolen twice, I had to get a new copy of my birth certificate, I ran out of money and had to be extra resourceful, I had to find free food, I had to find clothes... Man, you know, ya'll helped me get my mail, so I could FINALLY receive SSDI and get off the streets! You all replaced my ID for free, twice. You helped me safely get my birth certificate. You fed me for lunch many, many times, and it was real food. You got me new underwear (a lot) and hygiene supplies so I could stand living in my body. I was even given the opportunity to work for you all as a Voter Registration person, and got a very nice letter thanking me for my service. Very cool. Sometimes I just had to talk and I was also given the space to do that. So, now that I am in my OWN, PRIVATE, BEAUTIFUL place! I wanted to come back and publicly thank you for your service, your heart, your mission, and your excellence in the Philadelphia community. Without you, I would never have gotten to where I am today. Point blank, that is 100% the truth.

Planning on visiting Thursday or Friday after a doctor's appointment. Looked up their info and was really brightened up by their positive messages and goals. It is such a humble persuit that I would be happy to engage in. I recommend finding places like this to be closer to your community. There are people like us reaching out and we can be stronger together.
