Why We Do This Work

At The Welcome Table, we believe everyone should have access to the resources they need to lead a high-quality life. Our Community Actions are designed to advance disruptive change around educational, wealth, health, and other disparities.

How We Do This Work

We are working in partnership with our neighbors and everyone who is connected to the Community of St. James. Everything we do honors and values the people involved, their personal goals, agency in decision-making, and ownership of outcomes. We are constantly listening, learning, and reflecting on ways to do this work better.

Where We Do This Work

The Welcome Table primarily serves the North Philadelphia neighborhood surrounding St. James School and the Church of St. James the Less. It includes the homes and businesses inside the triangle formed by Ridge Avenue, Allegheny Avenue, Hunting Park Avenue, and is known as RAH. On maps of Philadelphia, RAH is located within the larger neighborhood known as Allegheny West. More broadly we serve the entire St. James School catchment area.
