I am honored to be a part of the Chester Community Coalition. I am so proud of the work currently being implemented by the Coalition and plans for future programming. The mission of the Coalition is to support the people of Chester as they learn to cope and heal from the violence that plagues their community.

The Coalition is comprised of loving people who have dedicated their lives to serving others. I am so pleased to be able to support them in their mission as they continue to provide much needed support to the children and families of Chester.
