The Pike County Health Department received a $25,000 grant in order to address food insecurity, and that funding will go toward helping two local non-profits distribute food to families in need.
PCHD received its grant from No Kids Hungry, a campaign from the national non-profit organization Share Our Strength, which is an organization focused on reducing hunger and poverty. The organization has donated a total of $3 million in No Kid Hungry grants to serve more than 120 early child care centers, healthcare providers and community organizations across the country.
Throughout the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, non-profit organizations in Eastern Kentucky have faced a greater need than ever before, and they have worked together to meet that need.
