HBA holds clothing drive for Coatesville Arson Victims

West Chester, PA- The Home Builders Association of Chester & Delaware Counties recently held a clothing drive for the victims of the Coatesville arson fires.

Association members Joe Mingioni, Mingioni Construction, Wayne Megill, Megill Homes, David D’Agostino, D’Agostino Builders, Dave England, Rouse/Chamberlin Homes and Todd Pohlig, Pohlig Builders offered their offices as alternate drop off locations.

Members of the HBA consistently look beyond themselves and remain committed to improving the lives of those in need,” said HBA Executive Vice President, Michael McGee. “We have a number of other community service initiatives planned for this year, and welcome participation from members and non-members alike.”
