Philly House (FKA Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission)

Philly House (fka Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission) was established with a simple goal in mind: to serve breakfast every Sunday to Philadelphia’s poor and homeless while sharing with them the love of Jesus Christ. Since being founding in 1878, Philly House has grown to be the largest emergency homeless shelter in Philadelphia, and the only provider of the three free meals a day, 365 days a year to homeless men, women, and children. Philly House has become a safe haven for the homeless community by ministering to the mind, body, and spirit of anyone who walks through our doors.

Philly House (fka The Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission) offers the following services to homeless individuals: 

MEALS AND SHELTER

Since its founding in 1878, meals have been an essential service provided to the disadvantaged men, women, and children in Philadelphia. Philly House provides three meals a day every single day of the year to anyone in need. They serve the most indoor meals to the homeless community in Philadelphia. In addition to serving meals, they provides emergency homeless shelter services to men in our community. Philly House provides 200 beds to those in need, and is equipped with additional cots when numbers swell due to extreme weather conditions.

ADDITIONAL SOCIAL SERVICES

They also offers a host of health clinics. On Mondays, a nurse from Public Health Management Corporation spends a day caring for the homeless. Every week Medical students from Thomas Jefferson University host a comprehensive medical clinic called JeffHope. A bi-weekly foot clinic is hosted through Best Foot Forward. They also provides weekly HIV testing and Hepatitis testing.

MEN’S TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM

The Next Level Program is a twelve month transitional housing program available to emergency shelter guests that are seeking stability, spiritual development, and long-term success. The goal of the program is to equip homeless men with the practical and spiritual life skills they need to be self-sufficient individuals and positive contributors to society. Men in the Next Level Program maintain up to a one-year residency and reside in private living quarters on the fourth floor of Philly House.
