Thanks to You!

On October 11, 2012 ACT in Faith hosted Thanks To You - an evening of appreciation for the extended community which has been instrumental in the growth and development of this interfaith organization. Almost 100 guests enjoyed the opportunity to mingle, dine on light fare, and be audience to an inspirational talk by Senator Andy Dinniman.

The current Board and Director took a moment to acknowledge several individuals for their service and dedication to both the community and ACT in Faith. Former Board members Anita Baily, Ed McNulty and Cliff Erikson were acknowledged for their passion, devotion and vision as founding members of ACT in Faith and Volunteer Betty Engan for her contribution as a former Advocate and guidance in the creation of the ACT in Faith Advocate program.

Don't Forget!

Supporters of the United Way can now designate ACT in Faith to their pledges. Though not yet a full blown United Way Partner (being a bit too young and too small), AiF can still receive donor-designated support. Those wishing to make an impact in the Greater West Chester community can simply "write us in" on their pledge form!

Chef's Best: A Huge Success

March 1 was a night to remember for ACT in Faith as more than 200 members of the community came out in support of our efforts to serve the community. A truly blessed evening filled with food, fun, and friends, the event raised more than $25,000! Through ACT in Faith, West Chester faith communities have been brought together by their common mission — to love and care for our neighbors in need. We are deeply grateful to all who attended and helped make the night a huge success. Clearly, by Assisting the Community Together...we ACT in Faith.

Planning for the Future

On May 23, members of the ACT in Faith (AiF) Board of Directors, Advisory Board and Committees gathered at Temenos Retreat for a day of strategic planning. In its 18 months of existence, ACT has grown very rapidly. By working together as ACT in Faith, the Greater West Chester faith communities have accomplished quite a bit in a brief period of time.
