From staff reports
The United Way of Venango County will provide 1,400 households in the county with items to prepare an Easter dinner from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 27, at the Rocky Grove fire hall at 29 Shuffstall St.
The distribution will be open to Venango County residents who are in need with a limit of one dinner per household. Participants will be required to provide proof of residency.
A donation from the E.V. and Jessie L. Peters Charitable Trust, in connection to a local couple, will allow each household to receive one 6- to 8-pound ham along with a voucher for Sander’s Markets in Franklin.
The couple approached Will Price, the United Way executive director, and wanted to ensure that struggling families in Venango County didn’t have to worry about a hot meal on Easter Sunday.
The event will be handled as a drive-through distribution. Cars should form a line by entering the fire hall parking lot at the intersection of Front and Fox streets.
More information is available by calling the United Way office at (814) 676-6545.
