Feeding Jackson County during COVID-19

Partnering with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), local organizations, such as the Jackson County Hunting Heroes (JCHH), Jackson County Ministerial Association (JCMA), Jackson County Community Foundation (JCCF), and local churches have been able to feed many individuals, as well as fill food pantries in both Jackson and Wood Counties.
The Parchment Valley Conference Center in Ripley, directed by Reverend Frank Miller, recently hosted a free food give-away in the parking lot of one of the center’s facilities.
“I just want to feed people,” Miller said.
Volunteers from local churches, organizations, and the community boxed up food and loaded up vehicles as they drove through the line.
