Our Vision and Impact

Broad Street Love (BSL) was founded in 2005 as an alternative worship community led by Rev. Bill Golderer. This community welcomed all who came through the doors with the Radical Hospitality that has become the organization’s guiding star and the core of the unique offering of stabilizing services it provides to Philadelphians today. BSL’s long-term vision is not only to meaningfully reduce the trauma and suffering caused by scarcity, but, along with best-in-class social service and government partners, to break the cycle of poverty, homelessness, and hunger in Philadelphia.
