The Pennsylvania Department of Education has approved CBS Food Program to provide meals for ALL CHILDREN under the age of 18 from ALL schools. CBS will be setting up a site in Bala Cynwyd and parents will be able to safely pick up Grab-and-Go lunches and snacks for children, regardless of the school they attend or family income.
Information about the program is located at https://www.cbsfoodprogram.com/grabngo

JCHAI is a multi-faceted organization with cutting-edge inclusive, supportive vocational programs and living options that helps families throughout the community answer the question "what happens when children with disabilities grow up?"


JCHAI is still helping provide supports to clients through Zoom classes. You can contact stacylevitan@jchai.org or BethRosenwasser@jchai.org to set up intakes. The class calendar is varied and is 15 times a week.


JCHAI could use some help in providing services to people with disabilities in our community. Donations of supplies or equipment, including cloth masks -- especially those with elastic and not ties -- and food supplies. Donations to help us purchase meals for people in the program are also welcome.

The best way to contact JCHAI for donations would be to reach out to either Carmen LeVere at clevere@jchai.org, Dawn Levi at dlevi@jchai.org, or Beth Rosenwasser at bethrosenwasser@jchai.org. You can also call their main number at 610-922-2480.
