Upper Chichester – Edward T. Coleman, Chief Executive Officer, announced that the Community Action Agency of Delaware County, Inc. (CAADC) recently received a $7,500 donation from The M&T Charitable Foundation.  This donation will support CAADC’s financial literacy initiatives including providing economically disadvantaged families with money management training and free tax assistance.   Last year CAADC helped over 1,000 households with free tax assistance thanks to the support of M&T Bank.  CAADC has an overall mission to help families reach self-sufficiency and this grant will help needy families from Delaware County to reach that goal.  The Agency’s tax assistance program was especially beneficial to senior citizens.  Mr. Coleman stated, “We really appreciate the donation from M&T Bank that supports CAADC year to year.  They have been amazingly supportive of our programs helping County residents in need.  It shows how much they care about our community and its low-income families.”

CAADC provides a wide range of services aimed at encouraging self-sufficiency for low-income individuals.  The Agency’s website is www.caadc.org and can be reached at (610) 874-8451.
