Warren County just experienced a remarkable spirit of generosity as local organizations banded together to donate more than $80,000 to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwestern PA. This significant contribution was made during their twenty-fifth annual food drive and showcases the community's commitment to tackling food insecurity.
Four key players in this heartwarming initiative included the Richard T. Betts Foundation, the Community Foundation of Warren County, the Sokolski Family Fund, and the DeFrees Family Memorial Fund. Each of these foundations generously kicked in $20,000, proving that philanthropy isn't just about the size of the check but also about the collective effort to support one another.
