The Friends Neighborhood Guild is a settlement house serving the Poplar section of North Philadelphia. In 1879 the Friends Beach Street Mission was established at Beach and Fairmount Streets; in 1899 it moved to Front and Fairmount and became the Friends Neighborhood Guild; subsequent moves were to Fourth and Green (1914) and to Eighth and Fairmount (1956). The current boundaries of the Guild's service area are Spring Garden, Broad, Berks and the Delaware River.
The Guild's association with The Society of Friends, originally was through the Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting and presently is through the American Friends Service Committee.
The Guild has, in the past twenty-five years, been deeply involved in the redevelopment of East Poplar. The Friends' Self Help Cooperative, begun in 1950, is one of the most successful housing cooperatives in Philadelphia. The cooperative subsequently purchased Penn Towne, a Redevelopment Authority housing project at Seventh and Fairmount Streets. The Guild's Operation Poplar is an extensive outreach program that involves the Guild in housing; community organizing, juvenile counseling, neighborhood-city relations, urban renewal, small businesses, and other facets of neighborhood life.
Several ethnic groups live or have lived in the Poplar area: Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Ukrainians, Jews and Kalmyks. The programs of the Guild, especially Operation Poplar, involved individuals and organizations of those groups.
The Friends Neighborhood Guild Records contain financial records, minutes, case records, publications, correspondence, photographs, and other records related to with work of the guild.
