Congratulations on creating a journal that is creative, interesting and “right on” in terems of capturing some of Chester County’s greatest assests – its people. The Chester County Food Bank has seen a tremendous increase in need for food for those who continue to experience economic hardships but the joy of this season past has been the extraordinary efforts women, men and young people have made to help the hungry. I am so proud of Chester County and all that people do to help each other. Your Journal was a joy to receive. I feel more connected to those who are doing their very best to make Chester County healthier, happier and safer for all of us! Shine on!

This is wonderful, Alex! I loved reading your story. It reminds me of me when I was a little girl. Keep up the great work for helping others. It is not “THINGS” that make us happy, it is “FEELINGS.”

How wonderful it is to be introduced to a young lady with such character and compassion, even though it’s done only by reading about her. Please pass on an admiring stranger’s admiration to her and her worthwhile enterprise to buy presents for the kids at CHOP.
Donald E. Anders, President Exton Region Chamber of Commerce
