    Philanthropy takes many forms, but when communities unite, the impact multiplies. That's the driving force behind Philly Gives, a collaborative initiative led by the Philadelphia Foundation, in partnership with the Lenfest Institute for Journalism and William Penn Foundation, to support ten essential nonprofits serving Greater Philadelphia. Joining us is Heather Huot (Hewett), Secretary & Executive Vice President of Catholic Charities of Philadelphia, one of this year’s grantees, to discuss how this support extends vital services to individuals and families across the region. 🌐 Philly Gives — Website & Socials Website: www.phillygives.org

    As temperatures drop, the risk of home fires rises — especially in communities where space heaters, extension cords, and older heating systems are part of everyday life. Ensuring families stay safe is a year-round mission for the Philadelphia Housing Authority, and this season they’re teaming up with the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey through the United We Prepare initiative to bring fire-safety education and resources directly to residents. Joining us is Lisa A. Desamour, Fire Safety Compliance Manager for the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA), to discuss the most common fire risks during the colder months, what families can do right now to prevent fires, and how PHA’s partnership with United Way is helping communities prepare, stay informed, and stay safe. Isa also shares practical safety tips, new initiatives rolling out this winter, and how residents can access free workshops and resources.

    In today’s world, internet access is as essential as electricity — yet too many families still find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide. Bridging that gap is why partnerships like this one are so vital. Comcast has unveiled its newest Flagship Lift Zone in collaboration with OIC Philadelphia at 1231 North Broad Street — a space designed to expand digital access, job training, and workforce readiness. Backed by more than $1 million in investment, the project continues Comcast’s nationwide Project UP, a $1 billion commitment to connect communities and create a future of Unlimited Possibilities. Joining us to discuss how this collaboration is transforming lives through technology and skill-building are Bret Perkins, Senior Vice President of External and Government Affairs at Comcast, and Drew Bergman, Chief Advancement Officer for OIC Philadelphia.
