I was told by a friend who used to work for the Salvation Army, that the staff would take stuff that people donate for themselves. She literally worked for the company she said, so she knows and that's really messed up that y'all take things for your selves, that's supposed to be for the less fortunate. Smh. SHAME on y'all. πŸ™„

I'm from out of state and I was so scared going to a shelter with my daughter (she's a toddler) but once I got there they made me feel comfortable. They're professional, kind and very helpful. The entire staff was really nice, understanding and supportive. Rasheeda and the guy who did my intake I'll never forget how kind they were to me during a dark time in my life. I recommend this place to anyone with children.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

They will probably do a birth control test, at the OHS buildinf on Cherry Street or wherecer they send you gor overflow. I do not know how it goes for pregnant mothers with a mate I know red sheild takes families but I think you have to have a child with you besides being pregnant. You can call and ask. Evert family situation differs. Bit if you come here after five they will find somewhere to place you if not here.

My bf and I have a 10 day old. We were staying w a friend and knew we had to go. Found a place but the place has bugs, a broken fridge and no cold water. Will they help the 3 of us get placed together tonight? It's a weekend.

I have to be honest in order to enter any shelters in the city of Philadelphia you have to go through the program name OSHA which is on 1400 of Cherry Street down Center City and they have the place you to see if they have any permanent residencies for the red shield Salvation Army also if they don't have any permanent spaces there then they will place you somewhere for the night and you would have to return back to Cherry Street the very next morning Cherry Street opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m. everyday you have to be there bright and early first come first serve so if need be drop your kids off at school and then head straight over to Cherry Street

U need to get on osha the shelter never because they have spots 4 women an children. But not single dads with children. If some of us work together. Then we could tell the shelter people that put us out on the street to go to Hell.
