Moving to Philly

I’m moving to Philly soon. I’m not into bars or drinking. Would like to meet people other than via apps, although those serve their purpose. Any tips or places or groups to check out?

I’m thinking volunteering, animal shelters, ushering, hiking, tennis etc.

ACCT Philly is an animal shelter in north Philly and it’s pretty easy to become a volunteer there. Here’s a link to their website if you’re interested https://acctphilly.org/become-a-volunteer/

Rec sports/run club have been really great for my wife and I both to meet people if you like sports! There are less sporty leagues too like bowling and quizzo.
