The guiding mission of PFP is to break the vicious, generational cycle of poverty in the lives of economically-challenged residents of Philadelphia by providing them with positive alternatives to drugs, crime, and welfare dependency. Recognizing the complex and inter-connected obstacles facing low-income urban residents, PFP provides support services to residents and links distressed neighborhoods with concerned leadership and available resources. PFP facilitates the development of personal responsibility, accountability and self-reliance.
