CHESAPEAKE CITY â Every Monday morning, volunteers for the Chesapeake City Ecumenical Association (CCEA) building next to St. Basil Ukrainian Catholic Church work to prepare boxes full of canned food and other supplies for the community. The CCEA, a collaboration between 11 churches in Cecil County, is hoping to expand into the space occupied by the old Chesapeake City Elementary School (CCES), so the association bring together all of its ministries and programs under one roof.
The CCEAâs President, Deborah Forsythe, compared the organization to a tripod, made up of three general programming areas: feeding ministries that provide food aid, educational ministries, and health and wellness ministries. The CCEA currently pays rent to two different locations.
