Summer of Impact: Tigris Projects Shine!

A Locke School Food Justice warrior

It has been a season of incredible growth, community connection, and youth-led success across our partner projects. This summer, Alain Locke School scholars built a sustainable food system, distributing 24,851 pounds of produce to their neighbors and serving weekly hot meals at Locke’s Family Table.

Our 2SLGBTQIA+ programs also saw vibrant growth, with 30+ Drag Queen Story Time events reaching thousands and a record-breaking Pride Fest at Abington Library drawing over 650 people. Meanwhile, we celebrated literacy wins as the Joyful Readers Home Library pilot successfully delivered nearly 2,000 books to Philadelphia students.
