About Us
"THIS IS HOW WE DO IT...." "It's Easy As A B C , ..."
ONE Feltonville CCDC (Christian Community Development Center) supports vibrant and growing retail/commercial corridors and suports owners/businesses (Including "Landlords" & "Tenants") that improve the overall economy of our shared communities of Feltonville and Olney. Wyoming Avenue Commercial Corridor was part of our "Vision 2016", "Imagine 2017" and, "Wyoming Avenue Corridor" ("Main Street") goals and objectives in response to our "Mission Statement"]. In April 2018 Olney Neighbors Empowered (ONE) participated in a 9th City Council District "Commercial Corridors" Study, with the Office of Councilwoman Cherelle Parker (D -9th District), the City's Commerce Department, and Office of Business Services [phila.gov/business] (surveying the portion of Rising Sun Avenue from Wellens Ave., (Save-A-Lot [5201]) to Olney Avenue at Tacony Creek Park & Trail [5500]). We are as committed to seeing local Business Development here - in the Olney neighborhood, as in Feltonville, Lawncrest and other areas, like Olney's North 5th Street and Hunting Park Avenue & North 5th Street].
ONE Feltonville CCDC does not practice discrimination or exclusion in our goals, objectives, mission or practices. We are an Assets Based Community Development (ABCD) organization abcdinstitute.org member of mainstreet.org and American Planning Association planning.org As facilitator/Lead Organizer I am an individual member of ccda.org the Christian Community Development Association. Experienced, knowledgable, capable and driven. Driven to deliver and derive the best a community has-and can offer.
We are "Christian" in our "Ethics and practices" with a Global World View in our approaches and day-to-day existence and relationships in--and with the community. We strive to "Do WITH You" not DO to, or 'for' you--thereby, empowering and transferring 'power' to the people; the residents...in the community we serve.

March 2018 saw the Launch of #ONEYouth, and #ONEYouthAmbassadors: ONE Youth is for young people from Middle School, to High School in BOTH Olney and Feltonville. #ONEYouthAmbassadors is specifically designed for youth from Olney Elementary School and The AspiraPA Olney Charter High School, and grew from a Youth Sports Saturday effort at St James United Methodist Church. Youth, Parents, and Community members are always WELCOME to participate in the Gospel House Ministries Chapel, a "Church Plant" by Facilitator "Brother" D. Michael Blackie, OSL (The Religious Order of St Luke) but, it's NEVER a requirement of service or participation in any other program, offering or events. Consider it a standing, open invitation; an open door. - M

Our History |
ONE Feltonville CCDC, (Christian Community Development Center) and Feltonville Town Watch began in Late August-September 2013, as Feltonville United Neighbors. Later, we grew from "Community Policing" efforts of the City of Philadelphia, Police Department, 25th Police District and a series of meetings hosted by Feltonville Recreation Center.
