Two team members of the CATCH IDD Supported Employment Division are being honored with Philly Love Awards.  December Ledbetter and Shannon Noun are being recognized by Networks for Training and Development, Inc. for their perseverance and dedication to keep consumers safe and active during the COVID-19 pandemic.
