Founded in 2003, TWC works to open doors of economic opportunity for immigrants of all education and skill levels and build immigrants’ individual and collective agency to address barriers to integration and well-being.
TWC collaborates with its participants, a broad spectrum of organizations, and public and private sector institutions to advance learning, shape policy, and grow the economy.
The generosity of our individual donors and corporate and foundation funders is what fuels The Welcoming Center’s mission. We’re grateful for their support and are optimistic about what we can do together to build Pennsylvania’s economy by providing employment resources for immigrants.

Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers was built around a simple idea: food is one of our last common denominators. No matter your race, religion, income, or geography, we all have a cuisine. Those cuisines are more than just collections of ingredients. They are repositories of histories, stories, and memories. When we give ourselves the opportunity to share and discuss our cuisines with one another, we discover that no matter how different we believe we are, we still have far more in common.
