Due to an abundance of caution and a focus on the safety and well being of everyone, we are canceling the Drueding Center’s Stairway to Our Future Gala that was to be held this Saturday, March 14th. We are investigating an alternative event and will keep you informed. We will be reaching out to you regarding your donations within the coming week.
Drueding Center is celebrating 33 years of many achievements while continually striving to better meet the needs of the homeless families.
Since 1987, Drueding Center has served over 4,234 families who arrive with very few possessions and face the terrible uncertainty of homelessness. Families make up the largest numbers of the homeless in America yet they are often invisible. They leave Drueding Center with confidence and the skills to thrive, because a home is more than simply a roof over one’s head.
As Philadelphia’s first transitional housing program, Drueding Center has developed a comprehensive program that meets the needs of both generations of our young families. We acknowledge that healing takes time, and preserve our families’ achievements through an extensive After Care program, forever breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
While the demands for our services remain steady, public and private funding of our programs continue to be a challenge. We have addressed this need by establishing our annual signature fundraising event, Stairway to Our Future. This year we will celebrate on Saturday, March 14, 2020 at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. With over 250 guests for cocktails and dinner on this special night, we will honor Elaine K. Faulkner who has been instrumental in raising not only money, but also awareness for our families at Drueding Center.
With the ongoing support of Sponsors, we are able to carry on the mission of helping our families as they take one step at a time up the Stairway to a better place. Your support would be appreciated as you help us to continue to make Drueding Center the place Where Hope comes alivetm.
