Good morning – I work at Public Citizens for Children and Youth (PCCY), a kid’s advocacy and policy non-profit working on behalf of children in Philly and the surrounding suburbs for the last 40 years. We are working to connect families to critical health care, health insurance and other public benefits they need during this COVID emergency.
