SELF Incorporated

Merry Christmas from the SELF Inc. team to you! 🎄

This season can bring increased feelings of isolation, grief, and stress. At SELF Inc., we recognize that mental health is a vital part of healing and stability. While others gather around tables, many of our participants are navigating trauma, loss, and uncertainty. That’s why our programs go beyond shelter, we provide access to wellness resources, counseling, and compassionate care that meets people where they are. This season, let’s extend grace, empathy, and support to our most vulnerable neighbors.

When we give, we build. We build trust, community, and a future worth fighting for. Acts of service, whether through time, donations, or encouragemen,t help stitch together a stronger safety net for our neighbors in need. This month, challenge yourself to give something every week: a kind word, a coat, a moment of your time. And help support our community blanket drive this month!

With December being the month of giving, we invite you to make a meaningful impact by supporting SELF Inc. By making a one-time or monthly donation, you'll help fulfill our mission—providing emergency housing, wellness support, and long-term stability for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia. Donate at the link in our bio.

To explore large gift or partnership opportunities, please contact Candy Hagamin, Director of Development, at [email protected].

Winter brings increased urgency for safe shelter, warm meals, and compassionate support. At SELF Inc., we provide more than housing, we offer hope, healing, and a path forward. From emergency shelter and permanent supportive housing to wellness services and outreach, our programs meet people where they are and help them move toward stability. If you or someone you know is experiencing housing insecurity, visit our website to learn more or reach out to one of our dedicated team members.

"Behind every transformed life is someone who cared enough to show up." Volunteers help us reach more people faster. Whether it's supporting at our shelter sites, assisting with events, or through other initiatives. You don’t need special credentials, just a heart for service.
