Solarize Delco

Senator Cappelletti recently met with Solarize Delco, a 501c3 dedicated to advancing solar power adoption. Solarize Delco is run and staffed by unpaid volunteers who have a passion to conserve resources, protect our planet, and educate others, as well as to provide a sustainable future for us and future generations. Their hope is to help Haverford reach the goal of transitioning to 100% carbon-free energy, and they thank each resident for doing their part. Senator Cappelletti spent time getting to know more about the organization and was able to speak with a homeowner in the district who has gone solar. In addition, Senator Cappelletti visited Temple Lutheran Church in Haverford, to talk about how their partnership with Solarize Delco helped them go solar.

Spotlight in the 17th: Kismet Bagels

Senator Cappelletti recently visited Kismet Bagels Luncheonette. Opened by Lower Merion’s own Jacob and Alexandra Cohen, this is their first sit down location and has quickly become a community staple.

In the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jacob and Alexandra Cohen’s jobs in sales and entertainment were put on hold. The couple wasn’t sure what to do with their suddenly empty schedules. To pass the time and find a sense of comfort amidst uncertainty, they began baking bread each morning. Soon they had their first craving for bagels and decided to try their hands at making them themselves. The first batch came out of the oven perfectly: crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. After making some batches and dropping them off in family mailboxes (pandemic times), Alexandra had the urge to use their new passion to raise funds for local charities. They began selling bagels to their neighbors and donating the proceeds to Project Home, a local organization helping the unhoused in Philadelphia.

Four years later, they now have FOUR bagel shops, host dozens of bagel classes a year, attend over 8 markets a week. Making bagels is now their full-time gig. The two met as kids, have been married for 5 years, and run this business as a family. As the name says, it was meant to be!
