==== Philadelphia Sikhi Society ==== The Philadelphia Sikhi Society is a [[gurdwara]] located on Garden Court. Since the 1990s, it has been Millbourne's only place of worship.<ref name=":72" /> It was founded after a small Sikh population in Philadelphia used a storefront as their place of worship until the 1990s when more Sikh immigrants arrived. The growing population required a larger space, so they purchased an old warehouse in Millbourne and transformed it into a new gurdwara. The Sikh temple's move to Millbourne led to a significant increase in the population.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Esack |first=Steve |date=April 29, 2001 |title=Millbourne's Sikh enclave - Indian group cherishes |pages=B01 |work=[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]}}</ref> The [[gurdwara]] offers prayer services every Sunday and Friday.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 3, 2022 |title=Prayer Services |url=http://www.philadelphiasikhsociety.com/prayer-service/ |access-date=July 3, 2022 |website=Philadelphia Sikh Society}}</ref> Annually, the Philadelphia Sikhi Society holds a Sikh Guru Nanak parade in celebration of the founder of [[Sikhism]], [[Guru Nanak]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Reilly |first=Linda |date=November 14, 2012 |title=Sikh Guru Nanak parade is set for Upper Darby on Saturday |work=[[Delaware County Daily Times]] |url=https://www.delcotimes.com/2012/11/15/sikh-guru-nanak-parade-is-set-for-upper-darby-on-saturday-2/ |access-date=July 4, 2023}}</ref> In 2011, the [[gurdwara]] raised relief funds for the [[2011 Tลhoku earthquake and tsunami]].
