Grantee Spotlight

Shepherding women on the path to reentry

By Deneatra Harmon

Sisters Returning Home provides reentry services to women in the Philadelphia area through mentorship, advocacy, workforce development, family reunification, and financial literacy. Founded in 2009 by long-time community activist Peggy Sims, the organization helps clients transition from prison back into society by reestablishing meaningful, personal connections within their communities. Through their work, Sisters Returning Home has helped more than hundreds of women accomplish their short- and long-term goals for reentering society.

Annual Meeting Recap

On June 6, over 200 members, guests, and friends in the Philadelphia nonprofit community gathered to honor our 2022 Grantees!

The event, held both in-person and virtually, gave members a chance to connect and celebrate. Attendees at Craft Hall sipped cocktails and mingled, while the Zoom buzzed with social breakout rooms before the inspiring presentations by nonprofit partners and board members. The Annual Meeting is a high point in our calendar, but the fun's not over. Stay tuned for information about summer events.

Special thanks to the Programs Committee, Annual Meeting Chairs, and all who volunteered and contributed to make the evening a success.
