Friends of Father Judge High School was awarded a $1 million grant to develop two spaces known as the Brisson Center for Academic Excellence and Welding Lab that will provide enhanced career training to prepare students for high-demand jobs of the present and future.
Esperanza Health Center, in Kensington, was awarded $1 million.
The Free Library of Philadelphia was awarded $480,000 to repair and upgrade the McPherson Square and Kingsessing branches.
“I am very pleased to share the good news with these benevolent organizations and the communities that they serve.
