Temporary Aid To Needy Families (TANF) has been of a major concern at the Harmonious Volunteer Center. Those parents require training in order to qualify for employment. Those parents having one or more children and are in need of whatever help or assistance they can receive while they get their lives together. The Harmonious Volunteer Center has become a distribution partner with the Cradles To Crayons nonprofit organization helping to issue toys, educational books, and clothing for children for needy families . Children from newborn up to age 12 from needy families qualify to receive these gift packages. North Penn Civic Association at Chalmers Park (a member organization of the Resident’s Coalition), 2800 North 29th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19132 is involved with the process of bringing joy to these children by providing space in the community center at Chalmers Park called Kids Fun Day.
