HAP Board President Harrison Lee (left) says he gives to HAP because, "my family and I were the beneficiaries of a local support system after my parents immigrated to the United States. So growing up, my parents instilled in me the importance of community, giving back, and paying it forward. Giving and volunteering through HAP is an important extension of this to me."

Incoming Board President Larry (right) shares that he gives to HAP because, "as a parent, I want my children to have a better life than mine. I want them to grow up in a better world, a world where there are no hungry or homeless Americans...I also want to stress to them the importance of giving back, especially given how lucky and fortunate we are."

Will you join these HAP Board Members in making a gift this for $350 or an amount meaningful to you? HAP thanks you!

Homeless Advocacy Project's Director of Development and Communications, Shevaun Brannigan, is applauding everyone who made Saturday's HA HAs for HOMES a success! Thank you to Helium Comedy Club - Philadelphia, all attendees, raffle entrants, Comcast Spectator for raffle donations, our comics, Wilder patrons and Wilder Restaurant itself, as well as our donors of food items for South Philadelphia Community Fridge—we collected enough to fill a pantry and partially stock a refrigerator for our food insecure neighbors! We're still crunching numbers on how much was raised for HAP and its clients, but we count the day as a big success.
