Meet the creator, a Chadds Ford resident
Jen Panaro
Hello! I’m Jen Panaro, Chadds Ford neighbor and creator of this little corner of the internet. I’m a writer, reader, mom, community volunteer, eco-nerd, and more.
I created Connect Chadds Ford as a space for neighbors to connect. Let’s work together to rebuild community, advocate for collection action, and spark civic engagement in the service of renewed resilience in our local spaces.
There’s no bad time to shop local, see what’s going on at a municipal meeting, get to know your neighbor better, or bake them an apple pie, just because.
