"Aston, Pennsylvania -- A warehouse in Aston, Pennsylvania served as the headquarters of the big December Delivery Day, a widespread volunteer driven effort to get food, toys, groceries and holiday cheer to 1800 Delaware County families this season. The nonprofit CityTeam Chester organized the big day with the help of close to 400 volunteer packers, loaders, staff, and drivers. They loaded up donated bikes, turkeys and groceries all morning long. The drivers will then deliver these donated items to families all across the county."
"God is the reason we're able to do this work. Because every single year we're thinking, are we going to have enough? He provides every single year. When you show love and when you show kindness, you change the community. And when we come together and bring all of our efforts together, we really have an impact. Just to let someone who might feel undervalued or unseen recognize that they're not in this alone."

CityTeam Chester operates with a small staff of 14 and regularly seeks additional donated items and volunteers for distribution.
