Fantastic Success for A Better Start for Babies
Our Social Action Committee succeeded in its goal of delivering even more bags of much needed items for new moms and their infants cared for at ChesPenn, a federally qualified health care clinic in Chester. In 2022 we were able to double our first year's donations to create 73 bags, which provided supplies for about half the newborns and their mothers who came to the clinic. In February we delivered over 90 bags in our first wave, and we hope to get to 150 bags or more by the time we're done, so every mother over the course of the year can get one. We are accomplishing this with the help of Congregation Ohev Shalom in Wallingford and Congregation Beth El-Ner Tamid in Broomall.
The A Better Start for Babies project, created by our committee, is a response to the great need of so many mothers cared for by ChesPenn. Many have no resources, often no family to support them. The list of items was developed with input from the staff and pediatricians at ChesPenn, who see the needs every day. Each bag has a monetary value of approximately $100.
The Social Action team of Judy Kinman, Julie Mayer, Carol Briselli and John Greenstine were joined on delivery day by ChesPenn pediatricians Kai Turner, Ashley Henderson and ChesPenn CEO Susan Harris McGovern.
