Eagles Help Dedicate New Home For The Holidays
On Monday, the Eagles joined Habitat For Humanity Philadelphia to help dedicate a new home in South Philadelphia, just in time for the holidays ...

To afford a one-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia for someone living on a minimum wage salary, that person would need to work 97 hours a week, based on the Fair Market Rent in Philadelphia

The lack of affordable housing for families in need can have negative effects on their lives, their children and their communities

Monday's schedule of events included a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the house followed by some decorating for the holidaysÂ

Adding to the festivities, Panasonic donated a brand new 42" HDTV and Sports Authority contributed a $250 gift card to the family, while Frito-Lay provided refreshments

Beau Allen, Connor Barwin and MarkSanchez were all in attendance

A 2014 Eagles Care partner, Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia's mission is to transform lives and the city by building quality homes in partnership with families in need, uniting all Philadelphians around the cause of affordable housing
