A huge thank you to the Tarken Coalition for Concerned Neighbors for organizing a wonderful Back to School Giveaway & Public Safety Night and for bringing so many community partners together at Tarken Recreation Center!

The Coalition put a lot of time and effort into planning this event, connecting families with resources, providing school supplies, and creating a fun and welcoming evening for the neighborhood. We were happy to host and work alongside them to help make it happen.

We also want to thank all of the community partners and supporters who contributed to the evening, including Councilman Anthony Phillips, the 2nd District Police, the National Guard, WOAR Philadelphia Center, Greg Bucceroni with Public Safety, Gill Matthews from the Mayor’s Office, Semper FI Dawgs Youth Organization, and all of the neighbors and community members who came out to support the event.

It was great seeing families come together for an evening focused on kids, community, resources, safety, and fun.

Most of all, thank you again to the Tarken Coalition for Concerned Neighbors for everything you are doing for our neighborhood. Tarken Recreation Center is looking forward to continuing to work together on many more community events!

More details coming soon about their next event on September 19…and many more in the near future.

Tarken is excited to host the Target Coalition for Concerned Neighbors for this special community event!

Join us Friday, August 21st from 5-8pm for an evening of resources, connection, and family fun!

A huge thank you to the Tarken Coalition for Concerned Neighbors for putting this event together and to all of the community partners joining us for the night.

Come meet your neighborhood group, learn more about what they’ve been doing in the community, and see how you can get involved! You’ll also have a chance to meet Tarken Playground and Ice Rink staff and learn about some of the new programs we have coming this fall.
