Racial Justice Goals
Providence Friends Meeting acknowledges and honors the fundamental value and dignity of all individuals, we strive to be a culturally safe space where all individuals and groups are treated with respect in regard to their unique cultural needs and differences.
We strive to build a pluralist, anti-racist community that encourages participation and leadership among all Friends, and supports and elevates partners and community members most affected by racism and bias. In September 2020, our community unified in support of Providence Friends Meeting Statement on Racial Justice and Anti-Racism

Global Warming turned into Climate Change which has evolved into a Climate Crisis - where will we be next year?
The Climate Crisis Committee was formed at Providence Monthly Meeting in 2021 to help fulfill PMM and PYM’s commitment to address climate change, to promote increased awareness about climate issues in our Meeting, to educate our Meeting on how locally we can reduce our carbon footprints, and to help identify opportunities for witnessing to our faith in creating a more sustainable society.
Serving Our Hungry Neighbors
Providence Meeting has been assisting our neighbors in Upper Darby by providing food for over thirty years. We are a part of a large consortium of faith communities in Delaware County, each of which makes dinner once a month and delivers it to the Life Center in Upper Darby, right on the border of Philadelphia. At the moment, we are providing dinners, lunches for the next day, and paper products for the fifty people who live at the Center. Faith communities all over Delaware County have cooperated in this way to help feed some of those who experience food insecurity.
