WELCOME
Welcome to the Philadelphia Chapter Continental Societies, Inc. website. For more than 57 years, the Philadelphia Chapter of the Continental Societies, Inc. has volunteered their time, talent and treasury to help improve the quality of life for underprivileged children and youth.
The Philadelphia Chapter of Continental women volunteer their time by working with established organizations and programs in the community to implement innovative projects and activities to meet the needs of young people. On this website we will share some of the activities our chapter is involved.
Our investment is in our children and through our Five Point National Program known as HEER we touch the lives of Philadelphia’s children in the areas of Health, Education, Employment, Recreation, and Arts and Humanities. The Philadelphia Chapter reaches out to all children regardless of age. It is through the dedication, hard work and unwavering commitment by members that we are able achieve these milestones.
We are driven by our mission:
Our Children, Our Commitment, Our concern,
