Let's come together to help our neighbors in need!

Our 6th District office is collecting donations for The Preston & Steve Show 2026 Camp Out for Hunger and we could use your help!

This annual food drive brings the Philadelphia community together to fight hunger and support local families facing food insecurity.

Changes to Medicaid are coming in January 2027, and some residents may need to take steps to protect their health coverage.

If you receive Medicaid through Keystone First, Geisinger Health Plan Family, Jefferson Health Plans EverWell, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Pennsylvania or UPMC for You, it's important to stay informed.
Here are a few things you can do now:

✅ Make sure your mailing address is up to date with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
✅ Update your address with the U.S. Postal Service if you've recently moved.
✅ Create or log into your COMPASS account and sign up for important benefits alerts.

For more information about the upcoming changes and what they could mean for your coverage, visit: https://www.dhs.pa.gov/COMPASS⁠

Don't wait until there's a problem with your coverage. Take a few minutes to review your information, and please share this with family, friends and neighbors who may be affected.

A little Halloween fun at The Tacony LAB Community Arts Center. 🎃

I enjoyed joining Rep. Pat Gallagher to recognize the winner of Tacony LAB's scarecrow contest! It's always great to see our young neighbors getting creative and having fun with community activities.

Congratulations to our winner, and thanks to everyone at Tacony LAB for making this a fun fall tradition!

CLS is incredibly grateful for the recognition we received from City Council yesterday in honor of our 60th anniversary. Thank you to Councilmember (and CLS alum) Councilmember Rue Landau and Council President Kenyatta Johnson for introducing this resolution, and for the many members of City Council who sponsored it: Councilman Anthony Phillips, Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson, Councilmember Jamie Gauthier, Councilmember Curtis Jones, Jr., Councilmember Jeffery Young, Jr., Councilmember Kendra Brooks, Councilmember Nicolas O'Rourke, Councilmember Mike Driscoll, and Councilmember Squilla.

Throughout the last 60 years, City Council has been an important partner in our work to fight for justice, and we are proud of everything we have accomplished together, including the Philadelphia Eviction Prevention Project, programs to make utilities and property taxes more affordable, our wills and tangled titles work, and efforts to break down barriers to employment.

This acknowledgement from City Council is truly an honor, and we are excited to keep working with you to fight for justice and to make our city better and stronger. Thank you for your support!

Looking for a way to give back to the community while meeting your public benefits work requirements?

Feast of Justice is offering volunteer opportunities at its food pantry that may help individuals meet work requirements for SNAP or Medicaid, depending on their eligibility. Volunteers can help support local families while gaining valuable experience and making a difference in the neighborhood.

Opportunities include flexible shifts Monday through Saturday, with some evening and Sunday availability. Part-time and full-time schedules are offered, and there are roles for people of all ability levels.

If you're concerned about how new work requirements may affect your benefits, this is a resource worth looking into.
