We welcome financial contributions which allow us to offer more community events and to help us serve a wider, more diverse audience. We work in partnership with the Parks staff on site to identify needs and address our neighbors. Our goal is to provide positive experiences for everyone at very affordable rates.
In addition to funding, we seek donations of appropriate good and services that can be of use -- as well as more volunteers for special events and community activities. Let us know how you'd like to get involved!
We thank all of our volunteers, local businesses, and community partners who have generously supported our efforts and make South Philly so special!
The East Passyunk Community Center Advisory Council is an independent non-profit organization of unpaid volunteers who provide additional resources and activities to supplement those offered through Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. Public meetings are held monthly.
We are pleased to announce that in April 2019, we revceived our official status as a PA 501(c)3 tax exempt charity; our EIN number is 83-3583785. This ID confirms our non-profit status---donors can keep receipts and deduct charitable contributions in full, assuming no goods or services were provided in exchange. Your donation helps us to offer educational day trips for summer camp students, to host activities and events for seniors, to provide year-round family community events (spring egg hunt & petting zoo, autumn fest, comic book day, outdoor concerts, movies, and more), and to make upgrades and buy materials that benefit the center
We've held an art auction, a Beatles-tribute night, a festive hoedown, and recently a swingin' speakeasy.
These events feature food, libations, live music, raffles, and lots of fun --- and provide community services to the neighborhood throughout the entire year!
