CLEANING OUT YOUR CLOSET? WE NEED YOUR SHOES!

EmpoweringWord Ministries is launching our Shoe Drive Fundraiser!

From March 1st – April 30th, we’re collecting gently worn, used, and new shoes — sneakers, boots, sandals & more.

Every pair helps us:

Raise funds for ministry
Bless communities in need
Give shoes a second life

It’s a win-win!

Drop-off Location: 5946 Vine Street

Ask your friends, family, neighbors & co-workers to donate too!

From Your Closet to Their Prom

Our Annual Prom Closet Collection is here!

Collection Dates: March 1 – April 1

Prom Closet Dates: March 28 – April 18, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

Help us make prom magical for students in need. Every donation matters. Let’s turn generosity into confidence.

AAAHH!!! Bling-Along
Hosted by Jarbeaux! Additional hosts TBA!

The horrors persist, but so do The Bearded Ladies! Join Fox News’ least favorite queer cabaret company for ANOTHER round of coordinated group screaming…excuse us, solidarity sing-along shows! We’ll drown out the opposition with rousing renditions of songs that have absolutely nothing to do with fascism, timed perfectly for the 250th year of America’s chickens coming home to roost.

A (key) change is gonna come, but only if we sing it into existence! Whether you come for community, the singing, or just to let out a primal scream, it’s gonna take all of us to make good harmony in this mess.

By the time this 90 minute show is over you will have survived another 90 minutes.

Australian comedic trio Sooshi Mango will bring their iconic characters, sketches, musical moments, and humor to the Live! Event Center at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia on Friday, May 1, 2026. Created by brothers Joe and Carlo Salanitri with Andrew Manfre, Sooshi Mango is one of Australia’s most successful comedy acts. ‘The Home Made World Tour” celebrates culture, family, and the hilariously relatable moments in between.

What started as casual, car-filmed comedy clips rapidly transformed into a cultural phenomenon. Sooshi Mango’s beloved characters Johnny, Vince, and Sam, along with Giuseppina, Carmela, and Angela have become iconic tributes to migrant parents and grandparents, blending affectionate parody with universal humor.

Tickets start at $42 and are available for purchase at LiveCH.com, AXS.com or Shop Live! in the Hotel Lobby.
