#ONECDC is a Program of #ONEChurch (DOC) Olney (#ONEChurchDOCOlneyPhiladelphia) A "Christian Church-Disciples of Christ" "DOC" Affiliate
#OlneyNeighborsEmpowered (Olney Neighbors Empowered CDC (RCO)and #ONEFeltonville CCDC (Christian Community Development Corporation/Center) are a Philadelphia City Planning Commission, "Registered Community Organization" ("RCO") for purposes of Zoning and Civic Design Review, Community Development issues.
ONE Feltonville began as "Feltonville United Neighbors" at 3rd and Wyoming Ave./Mentor Street, in September 2013. In Spring of 2014 the 25th Police District began "Community Meeting"(s) at Feltonville Rec about "Crime & Safety" in the neighborhood of the Rec Center. From those meetings, "Feltonville Town Watch-25th District was formed with 10 "Members". In July 2014 a Member proposed the name ONE Feltonville from an argument about what 'part' of Feltonville a Member lived in. The response of "there's only ONE *expletive* Feltonville... !", WE became ONE (One Neighborhood for Everyone, Our Neighbors Everywhere) Feltonville. In August we moved out of the City Rec Center into a Church that donated its space. In September 2014 our Facilitator/Acting President/Director United the organization with "CCDA" the Christian Community Development Association. Town Watch met bi-monthly at one Church, and ONE Feltonville met Monthly, except December at another -- only a few hundred feet from each other - on East Wyoming Avenue. To be truly reflective and UNITED, by Winter 2014-Spring 2015 ONE Feltonville CCDC was meeting only at one church building located at A Street and Wyoming Avenue. (Special meetings, Symposiums, "Town Hall" meetings were held around the community or at a larger faith-based, church, or community organization location (of any faith).
In August of 2016, ONE Feltonville was 'recognized' by the City Planning Commission as a RCO.
