ABINGTON, April 14 – State Rep. Ben Sanchez, D-Montgomery, today announced that three places of worship within his legislative district received grants to strengthen their safety and security measures.

Lubavitch of Abington Inc.: $25,000. “Everyone has the right to freely and openly practice their religion.
