Sheriff Jewell Williams hosted the first Council on Faith Based & Community Partnership Breakfast of his administration recently at the Deliverance Evangelistic Church at 21st Street & Lehigh Avenue.

In attendance were priests, rabbis, and ministers from across the city who were given needed information on recent changes and services available at the Office of the Sheriff of Philadelphia City & Co.

SHERIFF Jewell Williams addresses clergy at breakfast on what his office can do to help prevent foreclosures

Close to 100 people of all faiths attended the breakfast catered by students from the Murrell Dobbins Vocational Technical HS across the street.

Sheriff Williams said, “This event was held to bring more people up to speed on the new technology we’ve introduced into the office, and to resolidify a long history of service to the religious community.”

Members of the Sheriff’s staff included representatives from the real estate, law enforcement, and communications divisions who gave an overview of each department and how the community can access services.

“Overall,” said the Sheriff, “the event was successful on several levels, including, and most importantly, simply getting information out about how the Office of the Sheriff of Philadelphia City & Co. can help citizens (through seminars and workshops) avoid foreclosure and keep their homes.”
