Project Angel Tree: Holiday Gift Drive
‘Tis The Season to Give JOY!

Our CCF partner schools have identified families who need an infusion of JOY this holiday season and we have the great opportunity to sponsor every one of these deserving children in each of these families!

We are providing gifts for close to 100 children with this holiday drive, giving them something they need (shoes, jacket, clothing, etc) and something they want (toy, sports equipment, gift card, etc). 

Those who are interested in participating can reach out to Maria Stroup at Maria@cobbscreek.org by Monday, December 12th to receive a name and a wish list that will be generated by each family. If you cannot shop yourself and would like to donate directly to the drive, we will use your donation to ensure every child gets the gifts their families requested.

We will be hosting a joyful holiday gathering, staffed by our student volunteers, where all the families will be invited and Santa will be there, giving each family their respective bags of gifts!

We are deeply grateful to be in such wonderful partnerships with these schools in our community and are honored to support their unending and devoted efforts for the children whom they serve.

Spectacular Thanksgiving Food Drive,
Thanks to YOU!

The Cobbs Creek Foundation community came together in extraordinary ways on November 22nd, delivering 115 dignity meals (20 lb turkeys, fresh veggies, fruit, stuffing, and so much more!) to families in three of our local elementary partner schools. 

Each school was asked to identify families who would benefit most from this offering and the pictures here tell the magical story! 

Thank you to all who donated and helped us extend such hope! We are very grateful to have these meaningful relationships with our school partners and are already envisioning expanding our reach even wider next year! 

A special, indescribable thank you to the Impact at Cobbs Creek Youth Advisory Board for their fundraising efforts and to the 28 young adults who showed up and packed all of the meals which our Cobbs Creek staff then delivered. Our Youth Advisory Board is an extraordinary group of young people who acted with agency and heart!
Partner Highlight:

Each month we will highlight the mission and needs of our different nonprofit partners. You are invited to learn about their work and connect if you feel inclined to lean in:

Impact at Cobbs Creek has the deep honor of having Radee Hammett as a vital partner working with students in two of our schools with our mentoring and social emotional programming. Radee is an essential voice in West Philadelphia and his mission is one we are honored to support. 

As Radee shares: “The Reawakening is a Community Opportunity Organization that facilitates weekly groups of men and women who are transitioning back into society after being incarcerated. We have been serving our members for the last 6 years. As a result of our commitment and dedication to the population we serve, our numbers have increased. This has been such a blessing to us, but has also made it difficult for some of our members to get back and forth to our workshops in which they have thrived. Over the years we have given our members free bus passes and even Uber / Lyft rides - all out of pocket, directly from us - but this has been costly at the same time. 

Our mission is in need of a 12-passenger van to help us transport our members and, at the same time, help cut the costs and expenses of transportation. We are starting a GoFundMe for the van but would love to know if anyone also has connections to somewhere we could purchase a used van at a reasonable price. Thank you for the support of our important mission seeking to uplift those who are impacted by justice.”
The Impact Center and Cobbs Creek Foundation (CCF) merger
has yielded a passion-driven program, now known as
Impact at Cobbs Creek, dedicated to providing enriching,
hands-on educational and service-learning opportunities for Philadelphia youth in the neighborhoods surrounding
the Cobbs Creek Golf Course.
