Pielli praises St. Agnes Day Room resolution

WEST CHESTER, Feb. 24 - State Rep. Chris Pielli, D-Chester, has issued the following statement on the resolution between the Chester County Health Department and the St. Agnes Day Room.

“I am extremely happy to hear that County Health Department officials and the good folks of the St. Agnes Day Room have come upon a working solution to enable the Day Room staff to continue their 32-year-old mission of providing refuge and support to many who have nowhere else to turn,” Pielli said. “As a previous program director for homeless veterans, I learned firsthand that these dedicated volunteers have worked strenuously to help alleviate the dangerous rise of food insecurity in our community, helping folks not only survive but succeed. 

“Since learning about this months-long issue, I have met with both the St. Agnes Day Room staff and county officials several times in hopes of coming to a resolution acceptable to both parties. I commend their hard work and thank them for overcoming any obstacles that delayed the continuation of the Day Room’s valuable mission to our community.”
