Western Chester County Chamber of Commerce

The chamber celebrated its seventh annual Corporate Citizenship Breakfast, where it honored the Chester County Association for the Blind, a nonprofit that has served local residents for 70 years.

Every year, the Corporate Citizenship Breakfast highlights a local business or organization that has put forth great commitment to making a difference in the community.

The Coatesville-based association hosted the event, as its executive director, Bob Milliken, provided an overview of the products manufactured there by the blind and visually impaired. Profit from the sale of these products is the major source of the association’s sustainability, as it does not receive government funding.
