The Chester County Commissioners presented a check today for $15,000 to Friends Association for Care and Protection of Children.
The check, presented at the Commissioners’ Sunshine Meeting, was awarded to Friends Association as part of the Commissioners’ appropriated funds for 2015. Friends Association is one of the key partners in Chester County’s Decade to Doorways initiative, the drive to prevent and end homelessness in the county within ten years.
Jack Luke, Director of Development for Friends Association, and Brian Boreman, Esq., Board Member for the organization, accepted the check from the Commissioners.
“This contribution of $15,000 will support three key parts of Friends Association’s work to stabilize the lives of homeless, or near homeless families,” said Jack Luke. “Our emergency family shelter, our homeless prevention program and our newest outreach case management program will all receive funds, and we thank the Commissioners for their significant donation.”
