Community Support

Supporting our local community and beyond - PSJAHF
In 2020 During the Covid-19 pandemic, St. Francis Inn Ministries  experienced a great increase in the numbers they are serving, with that, come increases in their expenses, in the “Thank You” letter sent, they expressed overwhelming gratitude and appreciation for the generous donation, at a very needed time.

A portion of the proceeds from our annual symposium (Spring 2022), along with some additional contributions from individual board members, allowed PSJAHF to provide a donation of $4,000 to Saint Francis Inn Ministries, a local organization that prepares meals, provides clothing and hospitality for the poor and homeless in the surrounding Philadelphia area.

The Pennsylvania South Jersey chapter of AHF is proud to announce that due to a successful spring symposium (2022) we are able to donate funds to the following charities.

  • https://bethanyslavic.org/news/22-ton-supply-load-from-poland-for-ukraine-aid Bethany Slavic / Ukraine Aid Fund $4000. $18 donation feeds a family of four for three days. Board members are also donating money of their own to this cause. If you would like to donate please use the link below. Log in with your pay pal account information and follow the instructions.

Chapter President Dennis Brennan was approached by a former co-worker about how to directly help with aid efforts in Ukraine. Through a network of other professionals he was able to locate Bethany Slavic church in Ephrata, PA. They are working with a group that takes an $18 donation and turns that into a packet of food that will feed a family of four for three days. They prepare and distribute the food directly to people affected by the conflict in the Ukraine.
St. Francis Inn works in the Kensington area of Philadelphia helping to feed and care for those affected by drug use in that neighborhood.
The donation to the Weinberg northeast food bank helps those in need in the Scranton, PA area and represents the efforts of board members located outside the Philadelphia region.
The World Kitchen has fed many people around the world suffering from war or natural disaster. They are working in the Ukraine right now but will continue their efforts to help all over the world when called upon.

All of these charities help feed people in need and we are humbled to be able to provide them with assistance. The great showing at our spring symposium by members and vendors was the reason we were able to be so generous this year. Thank you for your continued support.
