Welcome to STANDUP
FOR KIDS Philadelphia
City of brotherly love!
We are all volunteers and could use your help.
The mission of STANDUP
FOR KIDS is to help homeless and street kids.
We do this, every day, in cities across America. We carry out our mission through our volunteers who go to
the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives.

The event was a great success!
