“Champions don’t show up to get everything they want; they show up to give everything they have” -Alexander den Heijer

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.

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.

May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and Foster Care Awareness Month—two causes that are deeply connected.

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