We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

To provide veterans the world-class benefits and services they have earned — and to do so by adhering to the highest standards of compassion, commitment, excellence, professionalism, integrity, accountability, and stewardship.

To promote and enhance the image of Italian Americans; for members to be of service to the community; to promote Italian heritage and culture; to promote, support and assist charitable, scientific, cultural, educational and literary projects; to promote members’ interest in public welfare; and to cooperate with others in civic, social, and cultural development.

Every person matters. Join us in serving, giving, and loving…

for our city.

for our future.

for each other.

Since 1979, Bethesda Project has been providing emergency shelter, housing and supportive services for thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia. Bethesda Project offers a home and safe environment where guests and residents can stabilize and regain their dignity and self-worth. Now, 42 years later, Bethesda Project remains committed to its initial calling — to find and care for the abandoned poor and to be family with those who have none.
