Today, Bebashi – Transition to Hope hosted a press conference at our program office at 4101 Woodland Avenue to address the urgent impact of the federal government shutdown and the resulting SNAP benefit stoppage affecting families across Philadelphia.
We joined community partners, elected officials, and supporters in a collective call to action urging Congress to act swiftly, return to work, and restore access to critical food assistance programs.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Philabundance for their continued partnership and unwavering support in combating food insecurity.

A special thank you to our distinguished guests for standing with our community:

🇺🇸 U.S. Representatives Dwight Evans (D-PA-3), Brendan F. Boyle (D-PA-2), and Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA-5)

Today Bebashi x ViiV Healthcare Ballroom Brunch was a huge success! 💫

Thank you to Kim Thomas from VIVv Health Care and ViiV Ambassador Luis for joining us, sharing vital information, and opening up about his personal journey with the community. Your words and presence truly inspired us all. 🙏🏾

This brunch reminded us that ballroom and healthcare go hand and hand, both are about showing up as your full self and taking care of the family we’ve built. Together, we’re proving that when we blend creativity, culture, and care, our community becomes stronger, healthier, and more connected than ever.

Let’s keep the energy going and continue to utilize the resources available to us, because our health, our joy, and our longevity matter. 💪🏾✨

🌿 Once a year, Bebashi closes its doors to focus on learning, growth, and wellness. 🌿

Last Friday, we held our Annual Staff Retreat, centered around this year’s theme: Health & Wellness 💚✨

The retreat was beautifully facilitated by our former Board Chair, Ms. Linda Marshall, who led us through an inspiring discussion on the importance of taking care of ourselves so we can continue to show up fully and intentionally, for the people we serve every day. 🙌🏾

We ended the day with a calming meditation session 🧘🏾‍♀️ that reminded us of the power of rest, reflection, and self-care.

A special thank you to Bryan-Tyler from ViiV Healthcare for facilitating our Lunch & Learn session 🍽️💬 your insight and energy were the perfect addition to our day of learning and growth.

We’re so grateful to both Ms. Linda and Bryan-Tyler for pouring into the Bebashi team and supporting our continued journey of wellness and community care. 💪🏾💚
