The Pike County Office of Human Services received $10,000 from the Human Resources Foundation in Honesdale, PA to support Pike\u2019s five local food banks, which are serving significantly more residents during the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are extremely appreciative of this much needed assistance,\u201d says Robert Ruiz, Director of Pike County Human Services. \u201cIt will go a long way to help local residents who depend on these food banks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each food bank typically receives an allocation of about $2,000 per month from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, which can only be used to purchase food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The additional funding provided by the Human Resources Foundation can be used to cover non-food items such as utensils and cleaning supplies, which are currently in accelerated use for proper safety and disinfecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are so please to assist Pike County in its time of need, especially during an unprecedented crisis such as the one presented by COVID-19,\u201d says Stephanie Uhranowsky, Human Resources Foundation Director. \u201cWe hope these funds provide the intermittent relief that the food banks so desperately need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friends of Mike Peifer also provided $1,000 to support Pike County\u2019s food banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food bank locations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
