You’ll see our team out 6–7 days a week across Philadelphia and the surrounding counties — even in extreme weather. Our mobile outreach doesn’t follow predetermined routes; we go wherever the community needs our support.

What we do:

Distribute goods based on availability and community needs
Move donations quickly from donors to the community
Respond “on-call” for food partners at any time of day

We stay flexible and ready, making sure resources get to the people who need them most — no matter the weather or the hour.

Harm Reduction Event Support

Substance use happens everywhere. Plan and simple. We want to ensure access to materials that make people's experiences safer. The Everywhere Project provides harm reduction to events such as music festivals, raves, concerts, community events, and more. Event support can look a bunch of different ways!

What event support can include:

Providing Naloxone & Testing Strips
Providing Safer Use Matierals
Tabling at the event
Providing staff trainings
Educational Materials
First aid support
On-site support

Every event and every venue has it's own vibes, and we do not approach anything thinking we know best. We work with event planners and staff to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the event. We're there to keep people safe and have a good time.

Extreme Weather Response

Weather happens every year. Philadelphia's unsheltered population is rising; it grew by about 15% between 2022 and 2024. Philadelphia is also one of the poorest big cities in the United States and 20% of housed residents report issues with paying their utilities.

During extreme weather conditions, The Everywhere Project teams up with other wonderful organizations to provide our housed and unhoused neighbors with appropriate supports.

Holiday Events

Community is everything to us.

Full Thanksgiving Family Boxes to more than 50 families annually.
Every holiday season, we host a toy giveaway with Santa in Kensington where we provide an average of 1,000 toys to children.

During 2025, with SNAP benefits being reduced and many individuals and families being heavily impacted TEP was able to distribute more than 175 Thanksgiving Family Boxes with turkey's included.

Specialized Support

We will always meet people where they are. We support individuals in a variety of life circumstances:

In treatment
Newly Housed
Hospitalized
Just in need of a little extra support

Harm reduction doesn't just occur on an individual level:

In 2023, we were able to provide more than 40 pairs of water shoes for kid's summer programming at McPherson Park in Kensington.
In 2024, we were able to provide local low income housing programs with more than 800 outfits for children.
In 2025, we provided Conwell Middle School approximately 1,600 pounds of food for their pantry during the SNAP benefit shutdown.
