(CAADC). The goal of the 14 th Annual “Hoops From the Heart” events was to involve young athletes in a day of service to help Delaware County residents in need. Over $10,000 was raised to support the clients in CAADC’s pro- grams. Since 2002, the event has raised over $90,000. Five basketball clinics were held from 9 a.m.-noon Monday, January 19 th , at Cabrini College in Radnor, Haverford College in Haverford, Widener University in Chester, Neumann University in Aston, and Springfield High School. The men’s and women’s basketball teams at each school conducted the clin- ics, which were open to boys and girls in grades one through eight. All proceeds raised during “Hoops From the Heart” benefit CAADC programs, which include emergency housing, social services, employ- ment training and life skills training. About 400 youth participated. In addition, each athlete was asked to donate a non-perishable food item that went to the Life Center of Eastern Delaware County, one of CAADC’s emergency housing shelters. Over 250 food items were collected. Members of Delaware County Council travelled to each clinic to meet the participants and collect the food to be transported to the Life Center. “Hoops From the Heart is a great Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service event because it involves hundreds of children coming together to make their community a better place. We are also grateful for the generous donations of food that helps families in need at the Life Center,” said Council Chairman Mario J. Civera, Jr. Pictured above at Widener University, center/ back row, are County Council members: Mario J. Civera, Jr, Colleen Morrone, David White, Michael Culp, and District Attorney Jack Whelan (far right). 40 Years of Advancing Community Development Delaware County Council was joined by members of the U.S. Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the County’s Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) and com- munity partners in recognizing the 40 th anni- versary of the federal Community Develop- ment Block Grant (CDBG) program that helps fund community improvements and services.
