Have a neighborhood issue that deserves more attention? A question about life in Philadelphia that reporters should explore? Billy Penn and WHYY News wants to hear from you.

WHYY News is hosting a pop-up newsroom and Foster Care Resource Fair on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine St.

The event will give residents a chance to meet Billy Penn and WHYY News staffers and share story ideas for consideration in ongoing coverage. Whether it’s an overlooked community concern or a local story worth celebrating, attendees can help journalists better understand what matters to their neighborhoods.

The resource fair will also offer information about foster care and adoption opportunities in Philadelphia, including the needs of children and teens in the foster care system and ways prospective foster families can help.

Agency representatives will be available to answer general questions and connect attendees with resources. People exploring whether fostering or adoption might be right for them can use the event to learn more about the process and available support.

WHYY’s pop-up newsrooms bring journalists into the communities they cover, creating opportunities for residents to ask questions, share concerns and help inform future reporting.

The event is made possible with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

When: Wednesday, Nov. 18, 5:30–7 p.m.
Where: Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine St., Philadelphia
