supporters
Coming together to better our community.
The Value of Hope?The Calvary Center for Culture and Community sincerely thanks all donors for their support, which is making this unique and remarkable transformation and restoration of Calvary possible.
Your dollars have been well spent. Because of these donations and countless more, where once a magnificent building was crumbling, today it is a beautiful landmark again, under massive restoration. Where once there was deafening silence within its walls, today, the corner of 48th and Baltimore is a hub of community, culture, worship and activity at a scale never before seen.
Where once there was loss and frustration, today, community is building. How can we put a value on that?
Without the support and good will of all these persons, institutions, and foundations, Calvary would no longer exist. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this level of support, which has turned a dire situation into a better, healthier, and more vibrant community in West Philadelphia.
