Made In Philly.org
Typically when one thinks of a product “Made” they think of a raw good converted into a finished good as something made. While those natural resources are very beneficial to the production of their products, we believe a very important resource often overlooked are the people that live there.
Start with the children
Our definition of “Made” starts with the children. The children resemble “raw materials” as mentioned above. With love and the right type of guidance, we believe we can make healthy, caring, adults – finished goods.
1stSaturdays- the official monthly volunteer day at school sites
We have partnered with The Familyhood Connection Inc, a 501 C-3 non-profit corporation, which promotes a monthly volunteer day at school sites called 1st Saturdays.
1stSaturdays is a monthly volunteer day to build what The Familyhood Connection Inc calls #familyhood.
#Familyhood defines the schools in any community as the nucleus for communities development. By developing the children in each community first, the community becomes more developed according to #Familyhood. #Familyhood is driven by two main motto’s. 1) The Friends of School Motto which says, “every school shall have a functioning Student Government Association (SGA), Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and an Alumni Association (AA). 2) The Mo’ Better Food motto which say’s, “every school shall have a garden, a farmers market and a grocery store.”
