★★★★Bhanu Priya SharmaOPCC runs volunteer programs and after school programs. OPCC services focused on addressing food insecurity, supporting children and families. And also provides safe and affordable event, meeting, and recreational spaces.
★★★★★Barb Hauck-Mah (barbhmphilly)Old Pine has been a great support to all ages of Philly residents in our community, especially during COVID! I've donated supplies and money and have been impressed by how they're able to get the most out of their donations. They provide meals and necessities to anyone struggling and offer afterschool activities for youth. Their intrepid volunteers keep the facility and grounds looking fresh. They just gave the outdoor benches a rainbow coat of paint. Volunteers are welcome to come help out. Thanks for all you do!
★★★★★Linda MillThe OPCC has something for everyone. Great venue for parties, weddings or meetings. Sports teams keep the gym humming every day. Afterschool program and summer camp for kids. 12 step groups meet almost every day of the week. Saturdays find 50-60 older adults enjoying social interaction and a free hot noon time meal. The Adult education program helps adults obtain their G.E.D. or improve their language skills. Folks in need find an emergency food and clothing cupboard and meals are prepared twice a week for the homeless in the community.
