COVID-19 Precautions

In addition to following all local and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, Project HOME – under advisement from our Healthcare Services team – is requiring that all guests, staff, and volunteers attending Bring Philly HOME events where food and beverage are served, provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination.  

 This includes the Welcome Reception on Thursday, September 23, and the Bring Philly HOME Celebration at Cherry Street Pier, Wednesday, September 29. Guests will be asked to show their physical vaccination card or a photo of their vaccination card along with a matching photo ID. 

"Fully Vaccinated" means that guests are at least 14 days after their final COVID-19 vaccine dose. Proof of a negative COVID test will not be accepted for entrance into the event.  

In addition, though events are primarily outdoors, all guests are required to wear masks at all times when indoors.  

If you have symptoms that are consistent with COVID, please do not attend, consider getting tested, and we hope you feel better soon!  (Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, gastrointestinal problems, or shortness of breath.) 

We appreciate your support of this policy as we do our best to ensure safety for all attendees. This policy is subject to change.  If you are interested in obtaining a COVID-19 vaccination, please visit Project HOME’s Stephen Klein Wellness Center https://projecthome.org/stephen-klein-wellness-center .  

If you are no longer able to attend an event, please contact Samantha Blatt at [email protected]. Please contact Annette Jeffrey, VP of Development and Communications, with any questions or concerns at [email protected].  

We look forward to being together, safely, and Bring Philly HOME! Thank you for believing in our vision that none of us are home until all of us are home.

About Bring Philly HOME

Bring Philly HOME is the premier networking and fundraising event hosted by Project HOME’s Rising Leaders Committee. Each year, hundreds of enthusiastic professionals and committed advocates join the Rising Leaders for an evening filled with big ideas, inspiring stories and motivating presentations from regional leaders committed to ending and preventing chronic street homelessness in Philadelphia. The event raises funds and awareness for Project HOME’s mission and key initiatives including street outreach, supportive housing, comprehensive healthcare and education and employment opportunities. It’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity for a new generation of leaders and advocates to join in Project HOME’s commitment that none of us are home until all of us are home.

About the Rising Leaders Committee

The Rising Leaders Committee is a unique group of enthusiastic professionals from the Greater Philadelphia region dedicated to supporting the vision and mission of Project HOME. Since 2005, the Committee has offered individuals the opportunity to build relationships with other like-minded people, while helping to support individuals in our community who either experience or are at-risk of experiencing homelessness. There are several ways to get involved, ranging from volunteer days, participation in the annual Rising Leaders Event and other projects centered on the work of Project HOME.
