ONE CHEVERLY BLACK HISTORY MONTH FEATURE: Mr. Jeffrey Felton Green Written By: Brieanna Boswell Interviewed By: Brieanna Boswell & Jennifer Kone February, 2019 For our first Black History Month Feature, One Cheverly (represented by myself, Brieanna Boswell and Jennifer Kone) had the honor of speaking with a 23-year resident of Cheverly, Mr. Jeffrey Felten-Green.

Hi One Chev!! Habitat for Humanity is going a Women Build Event April-June:  Women from your area join together for a multi-day effort to build a home for low-income hardworking families in the community. 36 teams of 10 women will work together to raise a minimum of $350 each towards our goal of $200,000.
