This is the official discussion thread for the cause Strawberry Mansion Learning Center. Its EIN is 23-2945377 and it's a public charity based in Philadelphia, PA. Research more info about the cause on GuideStar and Charity Navigator.

We offer an afterschool safe-haven for kids and teens who might otherwise go home to an empty house or neglectful parents.

STRAWBERRY MANSION LEARNING CENTER

2946 W DAUPHIN ST

Mr Kevin Upshur converted his family’s bar into an urban after-school learning center where children can do homework, have a snack, enjoy a safe and nurturing environment.  He is raising funds for a new kitchen and bathroom (currently has only one shared bathroom). His goal is $100K, about $48K currently raised.

This is a small, local operation but has apparent success in meeting its goals. As such it may serve as a model that could spread to communities with like circumstances.  Here is the story:
