Overview

Mission

The mission of Ayuda Community Center is to reveal Jesus' mercy, renewal, and justice in the Hunting Park neighborhood so that individuals and families are strengthened and restored. We seek to accomplish this through community development, arts, education, and advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2011

Ayuda Community Center has partnered with Spirit and Truth Fellowship Church, Casa de Consejeria y Salud Integral, Inc., and Esperanza Health Center to provide monthly family activities for the community members of Hunting Park, Philadelphia. Activities range from family movie night, art shows, fall festivities, Holiday activities, summer family day in the park, and many more. Through these monthly activities, Ayuda and its partnering organizations aim to combat the influences of drug/alcohol substance abuse by providing a safe and fun alternative activity for the entire family. In addition, all the partnering organizations provide social services related to drug and alcohol abuse, through preventative rehabilitation services, free legal counsel, spiritual counsel and after school activities for children. Ayuda aims to connect the members of the Hunting Park community with vital resources and activities to improve the general well-being and health of the community. (250 people served)
