Caring for Children and families

Methodist Home for Children in Philadelphia was founded in 1879 by women of faith to care for orphaned children.  Today, 127 years later, the orphanage has been long closed but the building is still being used for various community outreach and activities.  The historic Main Building is the site for the Before and After School programs, Summer Camp and an emergency Foster Care Respite apartment.  Black Women in Sport Foundation maintains a presence on the ground floor in a collaboration in which they offer alternative sports activities for the children enrolled in programs.

Reaching out to children, individuals and families is still at the heart of our mission.  John Wesley’s values are the basis of our guiding principles.
