Dear Community,
We’re thrilled to announce that our Free Breakfast: The Neighborhood Edition program has advanced to the next stage of the Fair City Challenge!
This is more than just good news, this is momentum. The Challenge seeks bold, community-rooted solutions that reimagine what’s possible for Philadelphia neighborhoods. Our idea? Empower local youth in historically undervalued zip codes to become the architects of their own communities through entrepreneurship, civic leadership, and radical imagination.
We believe in investing in people who are already here. The ones with the vision, the hustle, and the lived experience to drive real change from the inside out. That’s exactly what Free Breakfast: The Neighborhood Edition is about.
Watch my pitch submission above to hear the full vision. Can’t let an allergy attack stop you from meeting an application deadline. :)
We’ll be working with the Economy League of Philadelphia to make the dream a reality over the next few weeks.
Help Us Keep the Momentum Going
We’ve also launched our “Testing the Waters” campaign on Wefunder as we prepare to open up community investment in our broader mission.
Our first goal: Secure $50,000 in non-binding commitments.
Why? To show that there’s a real community backing this work and ready to build a more equitable future, together.
In solidarity,
Garry Johnson III
