Wheels for Meals!

It’s official! We are registered participants in the 3rd annual DELCO
Gives celebration of nonprofits in DELCO! Our goal is to raise enough funds to purchase a cargo van that will increase our ability to pick up donations to be distributed through our programs – especially food.

You can click on this picture to see the CEI page on the DELCO Gives website where you can read more about the plans and goals.

We offer gratitude in advance for all who are able to support this effort to meet the growing needs to feed people.

Breaking Bread…Together

Shared meals provide a launching pad for building relationships, creating connections, and laying a path toward unity. At CEI we recognize this because we watch it happen all the time.

With that spirit and conviction we are proud to offer ourselves as partners with other groups pursuing the same goals.

Same Link…Different Look

When you go to ceichester.org you will find new and refreshed pictures, stories, and information that capture our mission. You can read the latest newsletters, watch special videos (“Impact Stories”) with people speaking to their CEI experiences, and even find events with descriptions in the new calendar. And, of course, the donation page still does it’s thing!
