Fighting Hunger in West Chester
TeamAFS came together and raised more than $1,695 in November to help the West Chester Food Cupboard fight hunger and give hope to area families. The money raised will help restock shelves and provide fresh and nonperishable food to those in need. We agree that “…because no one should go hungry.”
