The shift from Executive Director to CEO signifies KACS’ evolution as a regional leader in addressing food insecurity, housing instability, and poverty and acknowledges the expanding scope of the agency’s mission and operations under her leadership. Since joining KACS, Leah has brought visionary guidance to the organization, strengthening its programs, expanding community partnerships, and addressing the increasingly complex challenges facing families in Southern Chester County.

In addition, KACS has undertaken significant initiatives, including the development of a new facility on Cypress Street, which will enable the organization to expand services and better serve the growing needs of the community. As CEO, she will continue to lead KACS in building partnerships, securing resources, and developing innovative solutions to meet the challenges facing the community. 

“I’m honored to continue leading KACS as we work to meet the needs of our neighbors and strengthen the fabric of our community,” Reynolds said. “This title change reflects not only the incredible work of our team and volunteers but also the growing role KACS plays in addressing systemic issues and empowering families in our region.”

“Leah’s impact has been transformative,” said Ana Amarante-Craig, president of the KACS Board of Directors. “This new title reflects her strategic leadership and the critical role she plays in advancing KACS’ mission to support those in need and build a stronger, more equitable community.”
