Over the last year, many of us have had the opportunity to dedicate more time and energy towards creative outlets and mental wellness as a byproduct of the pandemic. Simple, traditional activities — such as riding bicycles, crafting and baking bread — have reemerged.

This month, The Saturday Club partnered with Camp Sojourner, Girls’ Leadership Camp — an organization we discovered through the Movement Alliance Project. Camp Sojourner is a non-profit program dedicated to offering young girls an opportunity to learn and grow as leaders in their own lives and become ‘agents of change’ in their communities. This mission aligns so well with The Saturday Club’s, which has dedicated itself to empowering women to lift one another, while providing aid to our local community, for the last 135 years.

Throughout the month of January, The Saturday Club ran a community-wide Used Technology Drive in support of the Philadelphia Children’s Foundation. PCF’s mission is to help arm every child with an equal opportunity to learn in the digital age. Dozens of used laptops, web cameras, tablets, printers and accompanying accessories were collected and delivered to PCF — where their technology refurbishment volunteers could immediately prepare the tech to be put into the hands of local students and faculty throughout Philadelphia and its Western Suburbs.
