Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Ask Kevin Brown at 267-777-5820 for the link to the online Bridges to Wealth meeting, held the second Monday of each month at 5 pm..
What to expect
The meetings we found are online, so you join from a phone or computer once you have the link. The page does not say how long a meeting runs or how many people usually attend. One-on-one appointments with the neighborhood staff are open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5:30 pm, for help with things like property tax relief or utility bills.
Tips for your first visit
- Call the main line, (267) 720-HOPE, or Kevin Brown at 267-777-5820 before a meeting to get the link.
- For an appointment, bring the bill or notice you want help with.
- The office is at 325 N. 39th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104. The site gives no parking or transit details.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site lists open online meetings and a named contact for the link. It implies residents are welcome but does not say so outright or give eligibility rules..
