Jazz on the Ave was a whole vibe as always!

This Saturday, CDVS had an amazing time at Jazz on the Ave, an annual event we’re proud to participate in alongside Beech

It felt good to be back home on Cecil B. Moore, connecting with our community, sharing resources, and engaging with so many amazing individuals and families.

From the vendors and delicious food to the kids’ activities, local resources, and the incredible music, there was something for everyone!

Jazz on the Ave is always an amazing time, and we’re already looking forward to next year. We’ll see y’all there!

What a day we had! 💙

This Tuesday, the CDVS team had the opportunity to be in two places at once, participating in both the 9th District’s National Night Out at Dilworth Park and the 22nd Police District’s National Night Out.

Thank you to the Philadelphia Police Department for hosting this annual event that brings our communities together. We were honored to connect with residents, share resources, and enjoy an evening filled with beautiful weather, positive conversations, and community spirit.

National Night Out is always one of our favorite events, and it never disappoints. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and we can’t wait to see you again next year! 💙

There’s always something special about coming together for a community town hall. 💙

CDVS was proud to be in attendance at the 22nd Police District Town Hall, connecting with residents, community leaders, and fellow organizations committed to making our neighborhoods stronger and safer.

It was great to see resource vendors, hear from community members, and engage in meaningful conversations with leaders including the 22nd Diatrict Captain, Councilmember Jeffrey Young and Donavan West. The questions asked, concerns shared, and ideas exchanged reminded us that real change starts with open dialogue and collaboration.

Thank you to everyone who came out, stopped by our table, and continue to show up for the community. When we work together, support one another, and stay committed to the mission, there’s no limit to what we can accomplish.

Together, we’re building safer, stronger communities one conversation at a time.

CDVS had a productive and meaningful weekend serving as a community resource at the Strawberry Mansion Faith-Based Coalition Unity Day this past Saturday.

It was an incredible opportunity to connect with community members, finally put faces to names, and engage with organizations doing impactful work throughout the area. From valuable resources and great food to games and activities for both kids and adults. The day was filled with unity, fellowship, and community spirit.

We’re grateful to have been invited to participate and look forward to continuing to build relationships and support initiatives that strengthen our communities. Thank you for having us and we’re already looking forward to next year’s event!

The last couple of weeks have been busy, but that’s exactly how we like it! 💙

CDVS was proud to be at the PCDC Expo, where we had the opportunity to connect with the Chinatown community by sharing valuable resources and raising awareness about the services we provide.

We also joined the combined Town Hall hosted by the 39th and 22nd Districts. It was an incredible turnout filled with meaningful conversations, community engagement, and informative discussions featuring representatives from L&I, 311, PPA, and many other agencies.

Every event is another opportunity to educate, empower, and build stronger connections within our neighborhoods. We truly love what we do, and seeing our mission in action reminds us that the work is making an impact.

We are incredibly proud to share that our Community Awareness Coordinator Tijania was honored last week with a resolution from the City in recognition of National Volunteer Month.

This recognition reflects not only the dedication she brings to her work here at CDVS, but also the impact she continues to make beyond the workplace. Her commitment to community, her passion for service, and her ability to show up with intention in every space she enters does not go unnoticed.

She is truly a multifaceted individual with a loving heart. She is someone who leads with purpose, compassion, and authenticity in all that she does. We are grateful to have her as a part of our team and celebrate this well-deserved recognition. Thank you to and for thinking about her.

We were honored to represent CDVS at last night’s NCVRW event, an annual gathering hosted by .phila to recognize the lives impacted and lost to violence.

The candle lighting ceremony was a powerful reminder of the strength in community. This is by creating space not only to connect with partner agencies, but to stand together in remembrance and support. This year’s collaboration with the School District of Philadelphia Office of School Safety and the Pennsylvania Office of the Safe Schools Advocate made it even more meaningful.

Grateful to be part of such an impactful evening every year. Hopefully we’ll see you next year. 🕯️
