Philadelphia takes care of its own. One community endeavor demonstrates the city’s warm heart as we approach Valentine’s Day. It is known as 215 Day of Caring, a call to action for residents across communities to support our hard-working neighborhood organizations.
“This day is about reminding ourselves that our greatest resource has always been each other,” says project leader Darrien Johnson, adding: “When Philly shows up for Philly, real change happens.” Johnson launched a free fruit-and-smoothie truck offering healthy options to neighbors in North Philly last summer. The truck was vandalized, putting the breaks on the service.
Fundraisers like 215 Day of Giving will go a long way to restoring grassroots initiatives like Johnson’s community fruit truck. Known as “The Community Curator,” Johnson is mobilizing Philly residents to step up by donating, volunteering, or circulating the word. Your efforts, big or small, will support the missions of local nonprofits that promote everything from education and health to the arts and advocacy.
