Crossroads Women's Center - Philadelphia

10/02/2026

🍲This past Saturday, together with Q***r Soup Night we hosted a fabulous evening at the beautiful former Meetinghouse at 7165 Germantown Avenue in Mt. Airy. Despite rain and windy weather conditions, people came out to enjoy fantastic soups donated by local chefs Anh Vogbandith, Rachel Lawes, Danny Herrera, Mia Ormes, and Philipa Laster. Leighdy Morris thrilled the audience with a set of inspiring songs of resilience.

💸Proceeds will go a long way to helping the Center’s fire recovery and to building a new kitchen for our food justice work. We want to thank the event co-sponsors, event planners, volunteers, childcare worker, donors, and everybody who came out to support. You are the Center too!

👏Event donors: Q***r Soup Night, The West Philly Bunny Hop, Night Kitchen Bakery, Weavers Way, C***r Belly, Young American Hard C***r & Tasting Room, Lucky Girl Market, GREAT, Wooden Shoe Books, Women’s Way.

❓WHAT HAPPENED❓We suffered a fire on July 3. Water from fire hoses and subsequent torrential rains damaged the inside of our building and most everything in it. From the ashes we are rebuilding to carry out our initiatives and better serve the community and groups who use the Center, including by building a proper kitchen to expand our food justice work.

Join us on TUESDAY, July 7th from 12PM-3PM for a community brunch and guided panel discussion and debrief with the HOME COOKED Co-Lab! This workshop is kicking off a series of events in July about Community Food Systems and Transportation as part of A People’s Exposition at the Kensington Engagement Center.

The HOME COOKED Co-Lab is part of Home Cooked Starts with Housing and Food and is rooted in the belief that people’s basic needs (housing, food, safety, and belonging) can be met, and that when we make it our duty to provide these things together, we thrive.

This event will be a guided debrief and conversation about a citywide food distribution effort led by the Co-Lab. Join us to learn more about food justice work happening across the city and to hear partners share their findings from participating in the Co-Lab micro-residency.

As the nation and city celebrate America’s semi-quincentennial, we want you to join us for a citywide exhibit and engagement series to take a critical and honest look at key issues shaping Philadelphia today, to envision a more just and equitable future for our city, and to act on co-created solutions that address our greatest challenges.
