Philadelphia, PA June 11, 2009 Northern Home for Children celebrates the dedication of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Residence Hall and Little Friends Early Learning Center, sponsored by Wawa, Inc. The homeless young mothers and their children in our Generations II program will reside in Weinberg Hall, which is adjacent to the Caroline Alexander Buck residence Hall housing mothers and babies in our Generations I program.

The goal of this program and Generations I is to provide these young mothers and their babies, with a safe, comfortable, and home-like atmosphere, where they will learn the independent living skills needed to be productive adults in society and good parents to the next generation. The social, emotional and academic needs of the children (both mothers and babies) will be met and nurtured.

Both Generations I and II now have state of the art daycare and early learning facilities and curricula for the children residing in the programs.

In addition to the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and Wawa Inc.; special thanks to Christine Decker of Amenity Rentals Inc., the Kurtz Family Foundation, Andi Zuckerman, Lisa Phillips and the students of Philadelphia University for their design, expertise, donations and support for this wonderful new residence hall and early learning center.
