  • March 17, 2010
    The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Breaking Ground conference drew over 300 participants from throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. These participants included municipal officials, community activists, developers, urban designers, and numerous others that are working to enhance the livability of our communities. DVRPC thanks the keynote speakers and the numerous session speakers who shared their time and expertise to make Breaking Ground a success. Morning Plenary Session Barry Seymour, Executive Director, Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) Mr. Barry Seymour welcomed the Breaking Ground Conference participants and suggested that the day’s topics on creating sustainable, livable communities were extremely timely, given the fiscal challenges currently facing municipalities. He noted that tools for building livable communities contribute towards increasing efficiencies and reducing costs. Sustainable design, green infrastructure, and green buildings can lower energy costs, for example, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements can reduce health costs. Mr. Seymour introduced the conference’s theme of taking ideas for improving community livability from the planning stages to the implementation phase. He noted that the Greater Philadelphia region, as one of the most livable in the nation, with strong residential neighborhoods; a walkable, mixed-use downtown; and an existing transportation system that, while not perfect, is envied by many other major metropolitan regions. The purpose of the conference was to learn from each other about how to make individual communities more sustainable, what resources are available, and what changes may be in the air on the federal level. Mr. Seymour noted the broad range of topics to be covered throughout the day as well as the diversity of the conference attendees and encouraged participants to network and share ideas and success stories.

  • Annual Report 2016
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO LIVING BEYOND BREAST CANCER WAS FOUNDED TO SUPPORT WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER AS THEY NAVIGATED THEIR LIVES BEYOND TREATMENT. Quickly, LBBC realized women needed support and information from the moment of diagnosis and throughout their lives. LBBC began as an organization that hosted two annual conferences, one in the spring and one in the fall, to address medical, emotional and practical concerns. Attendance at conferences grew quickly because women were hungry for information, connection and support. Fast forward 25 years: The world has changed and so has LBBC. Information travels more quickly in ways we couldn’t have imagined in 1991. LBBC has adapted to the changes and now provides information in many different formats, taking advantage of technology to advance our mission. But we have stayed true to our core mission: to connect people impacted by breast cancer with trusted information and a community of support. Our two pillars, “trusted information” and “community of support,” are more critical today because it is often hard to tell what information is accurate and relevant for you. LBBC takes away the guess- work. Everything we produce is medically reviewed, and much of it relies on feedback from you, our community of friends and supporters who have been there. We make sure it is easy to find the information that is specific to your stage of disease and subtype. We also have easy ways for young women to find each other to get peer-to-peer support. You’ll learn more about all our resources as you read this annual report.

  • Annual Report 2013-2014 a Message from Our Board Chairman
    ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 Annual Report 2013-2014 A Message from our Board Chairman LOOKING BACK... At the end of the year, I will be stepping down as Chairman of the Chester County Food Bank, but plan to remain just as active. It has been the most incredible five years of my life! In the beginning, we had a mission and a vision. In all reality, it was more of a dream! We knew that good nutrition was going to be our focus while never forgetting our primary commitment to feed the hungry. We started with one employee, Larry Welsch, who became our Executive Director and leader. As we grew, so did the number of employees and volunteers who amaze me almost every day with their dedication and commitment. We were fortunate to have superb Board members who provided leadership and resources to support and foster our growth. Our community enthusiasti- cally embraced our cause as individuals, corporations, organizations, cupboards and meal sites all put their hearts and time into making the impossible happen. And, where would we be without our many friends and donors who have supported us generously through two capital campaigns, and who continue to help us annually to provide needed services? I am both proud and grateful for all that has been accomplished, and very touched by the commitment and generosity of every person who has made our dream a reality. THANK YOU! Robert McNeil Board Chairman A Message from our Executive Director Different than many other Food Banks in our form and mission, the Food Bank has transformed the approach to hunger and poverty in the county over its five year history.
