Rep. Fattah Says Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church Demonstrates the True ''Reason for the Season''
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA) issues this statement commending Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church for its donation of $65,000 to guarantee delivery from layaway of winter coats to more than 800 Philadelphia area residents.
"Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church has done it again! The big church with the big heart has once again demonstrated its generosity and community awareness with this amazing gesture of guaranteeing winter coats for more than 800 people. It is a gift of the highest order, directly assisting those who struggle to pay their bills but neither seeking nor expecting such generosity.
"All across our nation, in this difficult economy, religious organizations, nonprofits, businesses and individuals are stepping up by sharing, like Enon Tabernacle, to demonstrate the true 'reason for the season.' One example is the Burlington Coat Factory's response to Enon, donating 1,000 new coats to the church's network of community organizations.
"Under the dynamic leadership of the Reverend Alyn Waller, this great church has always been a leader in the Philadelphia faith community. I commend Rev. Waller and the entire Enon Tabernacle family for showing that 'Christmas warmth' comes in many forms."
