Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation PCDC is a grassroots, 501(c)(3) non-profit, community-based organization. Additional evictions were made for the Center City Commuter Tunnel.

OUR MISSION:
Established in 1966, PCDC is a grassroots, 501(c)(3) non-profit, community-based organization. Our mission is to preserve, protect, and promote Chinatown as a viable ethnic, residential, and business community. During our history, we have fought against the marginalization of immigrant families, workers, youth and seniors. As the only Community Development Corporation (CDC) serving a minority population in Center City Philadelphia, PCDC has carried out a place-based strategy to grow deep roots for the community so that outside forces would not displace our community. PROGRAMS AND SERVICES:
To meet the needs of a low-income immigrant community, PCDC offers a comprehensive array of programs and projects that fall into five main categories: Neighborhood Planning, Community Organizing and Advocacy, the Chinatown Homeownership Initiative, Economic Revitalization, and Family and Youth Services. HISTORY:
The history of the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation (PCDC) is inextricably tied to the history of Chinatown. In 1966, the proposed Vine Street Expressway would demolish the Holy Redeemer Church and School, a valuable and cherished religious, education and recreation center for Chinatown. Subsequently, the first town meeting was held and a committee was formed which was later incorporated in 1969 as PCDC. A mandate was given to PCDC to represent Chinatown in matters of urban renewal and community development. For over a quarter century, Chinatown has been buffeted by development projects such as the Ninth Street Ramp, The Gallery, and Foxwood Casino. Altogether, Chinatown has lost over one-quarter of its land, housing and commercial stock. As a result of PCDC’s efforts, a master study was done in 1975. This was the first constructive step taken in planning for the survival and needs of Chinatown. On the basis of the urban design plans and policy recommendations made for Chinatown in this study, PCDC began to initiate and implement many residential and commercial developments.

This year's YèShì Chinatown Night Market was an incredible success thanks to the joy of our community! 🥟🍹Thousands of attendees enjoyed the delicious food, amazing performances, and bustling marketplace on the warm evening of Thursday, October 8th.

The night highlighted the cultural significance of Chinatown, as attendees also patronized local restaurants and came away with a sense of excitement and enthusiasm for all Chinatown has to offer.

Moreover, 43 arts and crafts vendors, 39 food and beverage vendors, and 12 groups of performers made the night special. Attendees also enjoyed playing mahjong, singing and dancing to karaoke, and impromptu K-pop dance circles!

We are truly grateful to all who brought YèShì Night Market to life including 24 staff and 127 volunteers, and to our sponsors who help us to preserve and promote Chinatown, including:
