“A quaint town near Philly, home to an extraordinary hidden gem. The former summer retreat of Adolf Rosegarten Jr. A WWII veteran and hero...features an amazing mile-and-a-half private estate garden with multiple themed pavilions, all wrapped in a serene natural landscape.
Walking through the grounds feels like stepping back into the timeless wonder and tranquility that nature offers. A peaceful escape filled with beauty, history, and quiet reflection.”
“Such a privilege to have access to a free garden like this! The old cherry trees were surreal in bloom, and the historic house and other hidden gems around the garden make for a nice walk. The ladies working there to greet you at the entrance were so kind and explained some of the background.”
“I can't say enough about RMH. Phenomenal people, amazing place. You're not alone in a very 'alone' feeling time. Everyone is battling something so there's a certain level of comradory amongst the visitors and the kids who are fighting their battles are so inspiring and the parents are the toughest warriors. Thank God for RMH.”
“I found a screech owl standing in the middle of the road during the day, so knew something was not right. I carefully picked it up, placed it in a box with a blanket inside, and brought it to Philly Metro Wildlife Center.
They ask that you donate $50 when you bring in an animal to help cover the cost of taking care of it, which I found to be a small ask. It's also not required at all, so donate what you can, whether it's more or less ?
I was given a case number and was able to call a couple days later to check in on my owl friend. It's nice knowing that you can help an animal to either heal or help it to have an easier death than what was waiting for it in the road. Thank you to the entire animal care team for all that you do”

To legal documents, you gotta hold yourself accountable and responsible awesome service to the homeless ✋️'s on”
“Amazing service and friendly staff! They fixed my flat tire in just 15 minutes — a job that took a whole day at another shop and popped within 5 minutes of riding. No pushy sales either. I also had my brakes fixed here for one-fifth the price quoted by another bike shop. Highly recommended!”
“We attended the 5th annual western affair hosted by Dj Shawn T,featuring the Composite Truth Band(excellent performance),it was well planned,byob style,beautiful venue and great atmosphere filled with people who were there for a good time..”
“Our family has had the greatest experience with Kitty Cottage as foster parents and adoption parents. It is very apparent that they take the greatest most excellent care of this cats in their care.
It is good for the soul to see an organization that cares so much.
We are looking forward to fostering again. ♥️?”
“Adoptions From The Heart is an excellent adoption agency. Their staff is knowledgeable and caring, and they truly care about birth mothers and adoptive families. We were impressed with their level of professionalism and attention to detail throughout the adoption process. They helped us navigate the legal complexities of adoption and made the entire process as stress-free as possible. We highly recommend them to anyone considering adoption.”
“I have volunteered here and utilized their services to provide for underserved families in Philadelphia. They are an incredible organization and resource. I highly encourage everyone to donate and volunteer and access support as needed!”
“Well groomed mowed grass trails. A fountain. Beautiful wooded path. Nice views of small hills and dells, pretty old stone houses. There is little level ground except paths along Crumb Creek.”
“A nonprofit that gives food to those with aids, kidney and other debilitating diseases. Moto: food is medicine. Have a large industrial kitchen. Wonderful community.”
“The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) is a tremendous resource for people and families affected by FTD. Their team is comprised of a wonderful group of people working together for a great cause. It is an honor to support this organization and their mission.”
“Beautiful experience, very interesting. I have never seen anything like it. If you are interested in art and mosaics, this is a must see. The tour guide did a great job telling us about the artist and his history.”
“Beautiful little nature preserve. It is small enough to go for a quick little hike. The historical buildings and efforts to cultivate native plants make it really special.”
“This comment is long overdue, but better late than never, I guess.
First, it's worth mentioning that I was an organic farmer for a little over a decade and have been an agricultural consultant now with a research institution for seven years. I’ve visited farms all over the country and talked with growers, toured their operations, and have seen hundreds of different ag endeavors from small community gardens to tens of thousands of acres of commodity crop production.
I can tell you without a doubt, that the farmers at Pennypack are the best organic vegetable farmers in the Northeastern United States. Kirstie and Steph might cringe to hear me say that, because they’re humble, good people. But it’s the truth.
First, you’ll never find a CSA share more generous than this one. I still don’t understand how they produce so much food on the modest amount of acreage available to them, but they do. They do it year after year, battling through extreme weather events, with no identifiable decrease in the share volume. It’s an incredible feat. Every week, we left with bags and bags of produce. In the summer, it was literally too much for one person to carry. I say this not to add the pressure of unrealistic expectations to their lives; farm seasons are more unpredictable than ever and it may not always be this way. But Kirstie & Steph have an unparalleled ability to produce massive amounts of healthy food and it's proven out every season.
Second, the quality of what they produce is so high that it makes me embarrassed to say I was ever a farmer. Do you know how hard it is to grow a Napa cabbage without little holes from flea beetles? I legitimately thought it was impossible. Do you know how absolutely infuriating it is to grow good quality carrots? They make it look easy. And yet, this is the norm for the farmers at Pennypack. Everything is beautiful, and it tastes exactly the way it looks.
Finally, I have yet to meet farmers like Kirstie and Steph that do the amazing work that they do, care so deeply about their community, and do it with little or no fanfare or public recognition. Farmers with their depth of knowledge and expertise are rare. They’re precious to our society. And if young people don’t continue to engage with farming, the combined mental library that Kirstie and Steph have amassed via practical experience will simply go away. Very few will ever know how to farm like that on that specific piece of land ever again. Yet every year, even with the thousands of other things they have to focus on, they take the time to train and teach new & beginning farmers and send them out into the world.
The people at Pennypack - Julie, Audrey, Kirstie, and Steph - are smart and passionate, they’re kind to everyone, and I hope people that become CSA members in the future will appreciate that the farm is an extraordinary place. Hundreds of families and their kids have enjoyed visiting to pick strawberries, tomatoes, peas, and beans grown with great effort and care. It's a place where you can feel safe in the knowledge that nothing was sprayed with harmful inputs, where the entire farm and surrounding forest is brimming with life, and where you can bring your kids to engage with a real working farm that lives in concert with nature.
Our daughter’s first-ever strawberry was from the farm. It was a special moment that I’ll never forget. What could be better than that?
Sign up and support your local farmers!”

“This is a really neat organization and place. I got to meet the founder, Fran, who was very hands on. They do in service days where groups can sign up and have a lot of regular volunteers. Their name may be Jewish but they are non-denominational and help everybody they can!!
They specifically provide household, personal care, clothing, and other items to displaced families and those in need. As a volunteer you basically 'shop' for the individuals within a family (they stated it is usually mostly women and children) then box up everything with labels. It is all volunteers - down to even the delivery drivers! We went with a group of about 9 people.
1. Register before you visit.
2. Follow the signs as volunteers park in the back and that is also where donations are accepted.
3. Once you are in the volunteer door, sign in on the tablets to the left.
4. Then you will be directed to hang out at some tables, with the coat rack towards the right of the door
5. You will be given a tour and explanation of what they do and then assigned work!
Everything is clearly labeled and organized. You are split up into smaller groups and they have 'leaders' for volunteers that will provide collection lists, answer questions, direct and confirm. Everything is placed in not-too-heavy boxes and labeled properly. Items this organization donated to families in need include: tooth brushes, pot/pans, socks, pads/tampons/panty liners, shoes/boots, books, toys for all ages.
You feel really really good walking out those doors after your volunteer shift because you gain this connection for those in need as you shop for them. They are super organized and pleasant and honestly I have only more positive stuff to say!”
“Always showing a uniquely curated selection or films from the last 100+ years. Always clean and staff are always pleasant.
This place may lack frills such as fountain soda and cup holders but it’s really not an issue. Thankful we have such a place in Center City!”
“ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO VISIT. SINCE THE GANG WAR DAYS. SHOUT OUT TO MS. PRICE,PETE, ZACHARY CLAYTON,DONNIE AND THE STAFF. WE NEED TO OPEN THE GYM AND THE SALVATION ARMY AGAIN. CORPS COMMUNITY CENTER. COMMUNITY IS AN IMPORTANT WORD HERE. OPEN UP THE GYM. FIX THE COURTS OUTSIDE OPEN THE WEIGHT ROOM ETC”
“Our band recently had a gig here and they were very accommodating and the sound system was excellent. Unfortunately, they do not sell or offer food selections, but the bar is very reasonably priced. Also, there is smoking allowed in the building which is not a major issue, but I think they probably should make them go outside to smoke.”
“A treasure in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia. The offer seasons of a variety of artistic entertainment that is family friendly all set in a park environment.”
“My family went for a Sunday swim day and they really enjoyed themselves. I got there a little later than everyone but really enjoyed watching my grandchildren have fun. I did get a chance to get in the pool which is a little small but clean. Nice place for families.”
“The West Philadelphia YMCA is a vibrant community hub that offers a wide range of activities and programs for people of all ages! From state-of-the-art fitness facilities and swimming pools to engaging youth programs and community events, there’s something for everyone. The YMCA is dedicated to promoting healthy living, fostering a sense of community, and providing a welcoming environment for all. Whether you’re looking to get fit, make new friends, or simply have fun, the West Philadelphia YMCA is the place to be!”
“Books Through Bars does excellent work in sending free book packages to inmates in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. They're completely volunteer-run & host volunteering sessions for people to help pick/pack books. Volunteer organizers are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend volunteering there! You can just drop in & spend 30 minutes or a few hours, whatever you like. Whenever I volunteer there, it feels like I'm really making a difference in someone's life -- because I am. It's an eye-opening experience that gives me a new perspective. Books Through Bars also takes donations (money, books they need, supplies) so there are lots of ways to support them even if you can't make it down there in person.”
“For truck driversOnly one dock receiving.Don’t come early 30min to 1hour is earliest.Don’t go in the Gate for check in park across the street front of school street parking.Fast unloading less than 1 hour for full load 53ft.”
“Really loved the tennis program at Legacy. Coach Kein and all the coaches who work with beginner / advanced beginner adults are great to play with and learn from. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!”

“Great resource for the residents. If you have any items to donate please consider bringing them here. They do not take your donations and mark them up to make a huge profit, they actually take the donations and help the residents”
