Our Mission and Impact
TCRC’s Mission
TCRC - CHC has a threefold mission to help aid in the betterment of Philadelphia.
Reentry
Support
Assisting formerly incarcerated men and women with a successful transition back into their families and community.
Food
Program
The distribution of food and resources to assist families in our community who are in need. Food scarcity is a growing problem which has been acerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, economic instability, and rising prices. This work contributes to positive community health & growth.
Conflict
Resolution
Creating programs and structures that help to resolve conflicts without violence, and develop relationships that nurture and mentor young people.
TCRC’s Impact
TCRC - CHC has always evolved to meet the needs of the community.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, there was a serious need for a way to address food scarcity. Through a partnership with sharingexcess.com, we were able to establish a food distribution center. This evolved into a food pantry that has served thousands of Philadelphia families since our first month of operation, June 2020.
In February 2022, it was shown in our monthly share food report that we recorded our highest total of individuals fed; a total of 12,978. In response to the rising tide of violence and murder, TCRC has continued to build relationships in the community to address gun violence.
TCRC-CHC is not an organization that you will see in the media or in marches against gun violence. We prefer to build relationships among young people, find employment for them, establish mentorships, and connect volatile young people to seasoned formerly incarcerated individuals in their neighborhoods. This allows for relationships to build and flourish that can make an impact on the increase in gun violence.
