KCIT (Keystone Crisis Intervention Team), a statewide group of volunteers that support victims and their communities after a criminal crisis. KCIT is here to support the communities affected by the recent report. We had provided support to churches after the Philadelphia report was released in 2013.
If you hear of any churches or communities group that may need help processing this or are holding an event that they need emotional support staff for, please let them know that KCIT is available, free of charge. They can call and talk to me about their current needs at 1-855-767-5248.
Also, please let me know if there is anyway KCIT can support SNAP in this challenging time. Thank you.
