The Community Grocer

The Right Here Right Now Fund's first grant supports a project that reflects exactly what the fund was created to do: strengthen communities by investing in local organizations that bring people together.

Through this grant, The Community Grocer will host a summer community barbecue and mural dedication in West Philadelphia—a celebration designed to build connections, create a sense of belonging, and honor the neighborhood through public art.

The event will provide residents with an opportunity to gather, share a meal, celebrate local artists, and strengthen community relationships in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. As the inaugural recipient of The Rite Here Fund, The Community Grocer exemplifies how small investments in community-led initiatives can create meaningful, lasting impact.
