What was once shelves of gardening products and their unique backyard plant sales is now a lovely space with comfy chairs tables, a small kitchen and a backyard patio. Everything is accessible and sensory-friendly. The goal of this nonprofit is to bring together community members of all abilities, ages, social groups, etc. They have a broad variety of programming - everything from making your own yoga mat and painting with watercolors to cooking to tabletop gaming and movie nights. Their director is very good to work with and open to new and interesting programming that is inclusive. Groups can also rent the space for meetings such as Civic meetings and such, there is a fee if it's not an open-to-all activity. I've gone there twice for activities, and it was great both times. Highly recommend going for their activities and such. It's pretty cool.

See a need...fill a need. Narberth Community Food Bank was started ten years ago by volunteers who…read moresaw a need for a food pantry in an area that didn't seem to need one, except it does. People think of the Main Line as exclusively wealthy, and it isn't. There is poverty, it is more well hidden, though. They provide food for those who need it, personal care items, often clothing. They've provided literacy programs, computer literacy and reading. They will help people apply for benefits, and they actively work with other agencies to find housing, help with utilities, education, social supports and more. They're located in the former Narberth School building, on the second floor. There's a good sized parking lot and some on-street parking, and thanks to ramps they are fully handicapped accessible. The location is within a block of the 44 Bus stop and they are about 5 blocks from the Narberth Train Station. They accept donations of food and personal care items. Note that when they are closed they have bins outside their door for non-perishable donations, and for perishable items they will make arrangements to accept your donation if you need to come at another time. It's a great organization that serves the community well. I am happy they are there, and glad to support them.

So many local families needing fresh, canned & packaged food and personal products. Eventually I drove with a partner to make deliveries until the morning I packed my trunk with 8/15 pd. bags and whoops! took several weeks to recover (perhaps @85 years old it was time to hand this over to another volunteer!) The comradery of other volunteers stays with you as well as knowing you are soooo important to this community.
