If you're a foodie in Philly, there's no doubt you know about the restaurants of Chef Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran. They’ve transformed 13^th Street into a sought-out destination to enjoy local and global cuisine and culture with their six restaurants and boutiques, including Barbuzzo, Little Nonna’s, Bud & Marilyn’s and most recently, Darling Jack’s Tavern.

Did you know that there are about 3,100 children and youth in foster care in Philadelphia at any given time?

It was a normal Friday for a devoted Philadelphia mom of four teenage sons, we’ll call her Denise. After getting her kids off to school, she hauled the week’s laundry 7 blocks to Elmwood and 65^th Street. While her clothes tumbled in three machines, Denise headed to Turning Points for Children’s FAWN (Food and Wellness Network) food pantry at Tilden Middle School.

Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) has named David Fair as Executive Director and Cydney Dasent as Deputy Director of subsidiary Turning Points for Children, a social and health services agency supporting at-risk children, youth and families.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring Holiday Joy to our Families!  

Imagine hearing the words: “It’s going to be very difficult for you to have success in your life because you’re a foster child and it just is not possible."  That's what Karen was told as she emancipated herself from foster care at age 18, with little support but a dream that would carry her to a bright future.
