Executive Board Member Ashely Chan organized Hangley Aronchick's annual Holiday party for the children of the West Philadelphia Kirkbride shelter on December 8, 2012. Hangley, along with Gibbons and Drexel University have adopted HAP's legal clinic at this very crowded site for homeless families. The kids spent most of the afternoon creating the terrific artwork displayed here.

On September 12, 45 legal volunteers from 14 corporations and 1 law firm (Merck, AAA Mid Atlantic, Ballard Spahr, Chartis, Comcast, Aetna, Lincoln Financial Group, Cigna, Independence Blue Cross, Penske, NFI Industries, Subaru, GSK and The Pew Charitable Trusts) joined HAP at PECO's headquarters on Market Street to process applications for 134 adults and 65 children (199 total) in 2.5 hours!

HAP is extraordinarily grateful to its PECO/Exelon hosts Amy Tarr and HAP Board Member Kevin Stepanuk and their colleagues for hosting this event and for taking such an active role in HAP's special clinics. HAP and PECO/Exelon have served close to 300 clients in the two large birth certificate clinics held together in 2012. Our hope is the Birth Certificates all come back within time for everyone to get photo ID to vote in the November election.
