PERRY COUNTY, Pa. The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank announced it has received a $100,000 gift from the Partnership for Better Health to support its pantry programs in Perry County.
Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, nearly 15 percent of children in Perry County were food insecure, meaning they do not have reliable access to three healthy meals every day, the Food Bank said. Due to the economic consequences of the pandemic, that number is now at nearly 20 percent.
