Our story…

Running for More Than a Finish Line

This November, the First Step Staffing team is lacing up for the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend — and every mile we run is dedicated to the people who are fighting every day for a chance to THRIVE.

First Step Staffing is a nonprofit staffing agency with a simple but powerful belief: a job is more than a paycheck. It's dignity. It's stability. It's hope. Right here in Philadelphia, First Step employed nearly 3,000 people last year — including 1,904 individuals experiencing homelessness and 402 justice-impacted individuals — and provided more than 56,000 rides to and from work so that showing up was never the barrier.

When you donate to our team, you're not just cheering us across the finish line. You're helping fund the wraparound services — job readiness coaching, financial literacy, housing assistance, and transportation — that turn employment into a true pathway out of poverty.

Every dollar moves someone forward.

Whether it's $10 or $500, your gift directly supports First Step Staffing's mission to create opportunity and dignity through employment for Philadelphia's most vulnerable community members.

Make your donation today and help us take the next step — together.
