2021 TIDA Annual Seminar Service Project
Wednesday, October 13, 2021 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Eastern  

We are excited to have you join TIDA for our annual service project on the morning of Wednesday, October 13. The service project will begin at 10:00 am at the Loews Philadelphia hotel. TIDA has decided to partner with Project HOME for this years' service project. Project HOME is an organization that is local to Philadelphia providing resources and support to individuals and families impacted by homelessness. The mission of the Project HOME is to empower adults, children, and families to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty, to alleviate the underlying causes of poverty, and to enable all of us to attain our fullest potential as individuals and as members of the broader society.

Attendees who have chosen to participate in the service project, will spend the morning packing hygiene kits for those struggling with homelessness in Philadelphia. Listed below are items that are recommended from Project HOME which are perfect for packing the kits. We welcome you to join TIDA and contribute a few items to those in need. Bring them with you on Wednesday morning to use when packing your kits. If you're not registered to participate in the service project but would like to donate a few items, please drop off your items at the registration desk by 9:00 am on Friday, October 15.
