Friends Association welcomes teams from corporations, non-profits, and civic or faith-based groups to come out and help us help homeless or near homeless families stabilize their lives and find or maintain permanent housing We offer different ways for all kinds of groups to get involved, the most popular being team building experiences.
Team building experiences are great opportunities for a company or group to involve their employees or members in a positive team-building activity. They also provide groups increased visibility in the local community and have been shown to boost employee morale. Team builds may be scheduled as single or consecutive days, each including 10 - 20 volunteers at the Emergency Family Shelter per day.
Team Building opportunities are available Tuesday through Saturday. Date and time period will be determined by working with the Volunteer Coordinator.
**Fridays and Saturdays are the most popular Team Building days. If your plans include arranging your group on one of these days or both, arrangements for your participation should begin immediately to ensure agreeable build dates.

Mission Statement
Friends Association promotes the independence of families with children by providing shelter, programs and services that prevent and end homelessness in Chester County.
Description
Friends Association helps homeless or near homeless families stabliize their lives and find or maintain permanent housing. Through our Emergency Family Shelter, Outreach and Homeless Prevention Programs we address the needs of a wide range of families with children, from those who have become homeless to those who need assistance for a limited time. Our programs help families cope with the complex problems they face while we guide them to find permanent, affordable housing.
Emergency Family Shelter
Our Shelter program combines a private, safe setting and basic necessities with individualized case management services for our families. We strive to keep parents and children together as they work toward becoming stable and productive in their homes, jobs and schools.
Homeless Prevention Program
We help families with children find or maintain safe, permanent housing. Our program balances strong case management services with financial assistance, when needed, for families coming from a shelter or those facing eviction. Our families become independent within 12 to 18 months.
Outreach to Homeless Families
Our Outreach Program connects homeless families with numerous community resources when shelter beds are not available and helps each family develop a plan to transition into stable housing. The program's goal is to secure resources to sustain these families until they are temporarily or permanently housed.
