“The support and resources that Dr. Ansari and her team at CHCB have provided for over 16 years to the residents of the East Side is truly remarkable,” said Jennie’s Circle Founder Lisa LaTrovato. “Now more than ever, our neighbors who have been impacted by the tragedy that took place on May 14 need the services CHCB offers. Jennie's Circle is proud to offer our first ever grant to this wonderful organization and highlight the work they do.”
