Dancing for Dreams is a fundraiser supporting Methodist Services' mission to provide life enriching programs for children, adults and families. Featuring a dance competition with Philadelphia's community superstars, partnered with professional ballroom instruction, Dancing for Dreams showcases incredible performances!

We had an incredible night at the Dina Wind Foundation, where John Wind Jewelry generously donated 25% of all sales to support Methodist Services. With great cocktails, delicious food, and even better company, fun was truly had by all!

The Junior League of Philadelphia stepped up to generously contribute $100 Thanksgiving Dinner Gift Cards for 40 Methodist Services families. What a timely, extraordinary donation! In addition students & families from The Gateway School purchased & assembled 56 bountiful bags of Thanksgiving canned goods for our Bridge House & Hope Bridge residents. We cannot thank you enough!

Sending great gratitude to our longtime friends: Lansdale/Hatfield Branch of NGA & JL Freed Honda for donating 12 dozen Winter Coats for Methodist Services’ Children & Teens! Right on time!!

Children and families turned out to celebrate Methodist Services' Happy Harvest Festival! Looking forward to next year!

Fabulous Methodist Services’ All Staff Day for 130 employees, featuring professional development, staff trainings & volunteering at Cradles to Crayons Philadelphia - giving back to one of our very favorite community partners!

No matter how large or small, your gift lets us know you believe in our work!

From Heritage Farm - Farm Manager, Ryan Curran


"The harvest is coming to a close on Heritage Farm, marking the end of 24 continuous weeks. In that time, we have harvested and distributed over 5 tons of food. That is a 40% increase in production, compared to last season. All that was not done alone, and I am thankful for the timely volunteers throughout the season as well as the Methodist Services’ Education staff who helped distribute the produce over the course of that time. 


Moving into the winter we will have time to rest and reflect upon the season that has passed. In that time, I will catch up on fixing what may have broken, planning and purchasing seeds for the following year and thinking about ways to make the farm system more efficient. Again, thank you to those who have helped in any way to make this a productive season and wishing all a restful winter."
