The Hope Garden at Stenton Family Manor was established in 2009 to improve the nutritional value of meals for shelter residents by growing fresh produce for the kitchen, as well as to provide a safe space where young residents take part in structured activities related to gardening and nutrition. Programming has expanded to provide both adult and youth residents with the skills, values, and knowledge to shop for, prepare, and enjoy fresh healthy meals together, particularly as they transition from the manor to living independently through our culinary educational experience, Hope Kitchen. The partnership between WWCP and Stenton was the first of its kind in Philadelphia, and The Hope Garden the first production and education garden for families experiencing homelessness.

Among the requirements for membership in Weavers Way is an investment in the Co-op's equity. Each household invests up to $400 in equity in the Co-op (or more, if they choose), which can be paid upon joining, or in $30 annual installments. Being a Co-op member means being an owner in a very real sense, and when you pay this investment, you are buying your share of equity in your co-op, your share of the bricks and mortar, and the future of Weavers Way. But since this money is an investment, and not a fee, if at any time you leave the Co-op, you get back your share of equity in the Co-op, usually the total of whatever you have invested in it.
Whether you are paying the $30 annual investment, your full $400, or anything in between, you can mail a check, pay at the cash register in our stores, or you can pay online. To see what you already have invested in equity in Weavers Way, or to make a payment, log in to our Online Member Center. Thanks for being a member!
