I have and still go there when i can. This place is trully a blessing they have helped me in more ways than one. They do listen to you, and reach out to you and help in any way possible. The staff including the volunteers are so kind and compasionate.
It's a great place to be in because everyone is in the same boat so nobody is better than anyone. When we sit to eat we are all equals, one huge family. When i first went there... I was feeling so low that I was contemplating on how to end my life...But they really helped me and they really made me see that life no matter how tough is going...it's worth living! God is really awesome. I love this place. And if you're in need go there and don't be shy cause they have heard it all...except your story so go get help and turn your frown upside down!!! They're all waiting for you.
Big 10 stars from me!!!!!

If your homeless, needy or you want to do Volunteer work this is the place. They serve up really great top restaurant plates 5x a week at lunch. They also have clothes and toiletries that they give out to the homeless. Medical and Dental help along with everything else the homeless might need. They also have mass every Sunday.

Do a lot for the homeless. They do almost everything here: u can use their address for mail, they will get u a free Obama phone, a psychiatrist, primary doctor, lunch and dinner for the homeless and more. Even if you are struggling they will help you. They dont judge at all and thats what I love.

As many times I've drove by to this ministry and never knew what it was. To provide a nice luxurious breakfast, lunch, and dinner to our to families that are having little hard times. Its very lovely to see. It really touched my heart love it. Many places should provide these places. Especially this particular place in North philly, on F and Westmoreland streets. It was one a beautiful church, its been close and its a adorable building and there's alot of needy people in this communit. It should provide Soup Kitchen for our side of philly its a perfect place for it, many of us we love volunteer to make this happend. God bless to all involve. Very happy to see this.

For a place who likes to put themself out there as people wanting to help and even goes as far as to say they are pushing radical hospitality those are their words not mine radical hospitality when the mail came in a half hour before closing Sam the person in charge of mail told me it was too much trouble for him to go through the mail to dig out my check even after I explained to him that I had no money to get home no money to eat with and that there were people at home depending on me to bring the check come and buy food but with a very salty attitude he told me that I would just have to wait till tomorrow cuz he didn't have time to go through the mail and sort it and in a 1/2 hour I thought even unskilled at sorting mail I thought I could have easily sorted the mail in less than half that time here's what happens people showing up and say they want to help and then they realize that they're not being paid for a much for their help as they may like or there's not much appreciation for the help they're giving and they become salty towards the job itself my thinking is that at this point you should stop helping because you're not helping anymore you're hurting because you have an attitude towards the job.. this is how I feel Sam was a very cheerful fellow but lately he has become a very nasty uncooperative miserable man maybe there are other things to take into account but I am more inclined to think that it is the job that he is unhappy with if you're reading this sam I think you should look to other employment because your bad attitude isn't helping anyone in fact it hurt us I had to stand on a corner and beg strangers for change to feed my family that day and get my check the following day

They treat the homeless excellent. Everyone there is so nice and they're all volunteers. If your homeless and need a free meal this is the place to go. Get there between 11:30 and 12:30 Monday through Friday

Coolest spot to get mail, a great meal, and see friendly faces and enjoy spirited conversation while on the homeless shelter circuit. God is good, even when his people are imperfect or downright evil. From one extreme to the other. Diversity is the spice of life and it tastes like Curry or Tandoori chicken some days. I Love this spot.

When this place says hospitality, they mean it. Everyone is welcome and the staff will do anything to help guests get what they need. Clothing, mail, meals, medical services, and help with whatever's making life hard.

I go to Broad Street Ministries at least once a week. Staff are friendly and always offer their assistance to the people who come there. This place offers a lunch meal which is probably the best in Philadelphia when it comes to homeless assistance. This place offers a variety of services for the homeless or anyone who needs assistance.

It's very unfortunately one of the few resources to homeless people in the area, it needs a lot of improvements.

I was there in 2015:

The stuff like mail and snack bags is fine. But they serve food and small portions without seconds and thirds, no matter how many people attended or how much food there is left. with them being one of the few places to eat in the area, that is a huge problem.

There is/was another place a few feet away, but it had/has much less space and the food was/ is lower quality. And it's for women and children only.

it seemed like the only resources that they were limited in was food, despite the abundance of resources in their other programs within the building.

And the winter shelter is/was also problematic. Just a bare floor, with no proper washing facility. They didn't even have mats and let a person supply their own bedding. I caught onto using a cardboard box to put between me and the floor from other clients. And we had a basic stalled restroom weather only option to clean ourselves and our clothes out of a basic sink, if necessary. And the hours were from 9 or 10 until 5 or 6. A whole 8 hours of sleep was not an option. And, then you go out into a city that harasses people for sleeping in public.

the idea that you can just give the poor and homeless anything and we should be grateful is inhumane and selfish. I'm not saying that it is the reflection of this organization. I am saying that people should have humane and compassionate attitudes when addressing the homeless, and I find that most people don't. Homeless people should be healthy, safe, and comfortable - because those things should be human and or civil rights. Not things only accessible by a paywall. So don't say people shouldn't complain. Complain is how people get what they want and need.

Change my review because I witnessed the staff show zero compassion. Mail service closes at 2, I got my friend there by 2:04. He is disabled and has a neurological disability. A couple of minutes late to get his social security check and they did nothing for him. No money for transportation and they are making him come back the next day to get his check. That is absolute zero compassion in my book. The staff came out on the sidewalk yelling at us about the contract for mail. There was no reason for yelling. I've seen the staff act very disrespectful on several occasions. Very unprofessional

I love this community. The worshipping community on Sunday is incredible, pastor Laura is a gift, funny, compassionate, and brilliant. The music is like nothing you ve ever experienced in church before, the LGBTQ+ community is the best in Philly, and you re going to be glad you came.
