CEDA賦能獎

CEDA賦權獎也在此活動首次亮相！這些獎項表彰那些利用自己的聲音賦予他人力量並加強社區凝聚力的人。透過分享CEDA服務的資訊，我們的獎項得主幫助他們的鄰居自立更生。此外，通過與他人分享自己的故事，我們的得獎者致力於消除因尋求幫助而常常伴隨的羞恥感。我們的CEDA賦權獎得主是：

Bernida Davenport-McWhite

Bernida received support from CEDA in 2017 and went on to become one of our most amazing advocates for change across the Chicagoland area – helping others in her neighborhood receive support like she did.

Hear Bernida’s powerful story.

Angie Cosslyn

As a single mom-of-two, Angie has faced her own hurdles in life, but she has worked hard to overcome them. She opened her door to CEDA’s Weatherization services, but beyond that, she opened her heart to us. Angie has worked to help many people who have been in her shoes by sharing her story. In this way, Angie promotes self-sufficiency among her community.

Angie joined our most recent CEDA Helps: Live Q&A. Catch the recorded webinar here.
