Kick for Kids on Giving Tuesday!

Giving Tuesday, which falls on Tuesday, December 2 this year, is a global day of generosity where everyone can give back to their communities through donations, acts of kindness, or spreading awareness. During this season of giving, we would greatly appreciate your support for our mission!

"The Crisis on the Field
In 2024, more than 50,000 children and youth in Pennsylvania experienced homelessness, with over 10,000 of them right here in Philadelphia. These are not just numbers; they are children whose futures are impacted by housing instability and trauma. HopePHL believes that every child deserves a safe place to call home, and we're on a mission to turn these statistics around.

The Challenge: Scoring Stability for Kids
The challenge uses a paper field goal game to symbolize the journey toward housing stability and success for children and families. Each successful kick represents a vital step in HopePHL's process of helping families build a better future.
