PHILADELPHIA, Friday, April 25, 2025 — FS Investments proudly sponsored the second annual ACHIEVEability Impact Day, volunteering alongside hundreds of other corporate and community volunteers to rejuvenate West Philadelphia.
“I was honored to take part in Impact Day with Achievability. It’s important to me to serve communities that are often overlooked or forgotten. Achievability’s Impact Day is a time dedicated to making sure we take care of the spaces around us and those that occupy them.” –Sharon Williams, Project Management Business Senior Analyst
Our colleagues led a community garden cleanup effort around the neighborhood by pulling weeds, clearing debris and garbage, rejuvenating plant beds, and planting seeds and vegetables.
“I really enjoyed volunteering at ACHIEVEability’s Impact Day. The block beautification and collective effort of so many volunteers was really incredible to witness. From the rejuvenated gardens and porches, to the new flower boxes and small libraries, I think a lasting impact was made on the community. Kudos to all the hard work and creativity that ACHIEVEability and its volunteers have generated in West Philly!”
–Molly Borgese, VP, Compliance Officer
Since 1981, ACHIEVEability has worked to permanently break the generational cycle of poverty for low-income, single-parent and homeless families through higher education, affordable housing, supportive services, community and economic development, and accountability.
“Volunteering gave me a chance to spend time with my fellow coworkers and Co-ops, and get to know them better outside the office, while also spending time productively helping to fix up some gardens in West Philly.”
–Martin Simpson Teplin, Marketing Value-Add Program and Events Co-op
