SHCA Activities
The Spruce Hill Community Association hosts events throughout the year and participates in community building activities. See our page on
Facebook for to update information.
One of the favorite activities within the neighborhood is the Annual Little Tot Halloween Parade and Party. The event is organized in a joint effort between the Spruce Hill Community Association and the neighbors on the 4200 block of Osage Avenue.
All West Philadelphia residents are invited to the annual meetings hosted by SHCA to listen to a guest speaker from the community, learn about the organization and participate in elections. Annual meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each November. Check our homepage in the fall for information about upcoming meetings.
The annual May Fair, held on the Saturday before Mother’s Day in Clark Park, is the association’s main fundraiser and a neighborhood tradition. The funds are used for the SHCA Block Improvement Grants. To volunteer contact RichGuffanti@yahoo.com.
