SAYRE — The board of directors of the Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers has approved the 2020 Potter County Fund grants in the total of $2,000 to five agencies.
The awards this year were given to area food pantries in light of the economic struggle due to the pandemic and the Northern Potter County School District Outdoor Agriculture Program.
The school program assists in the outdoor classroom that has been turned into a lab to purchase materials that include wildlife identification and soil horizon boxes. The grant is for $1,000.
Grants for $200 each were awarded to the following: Methodist Church Food Pantry, Shinglehouse; Zion Christian Assembly Food Pantry, Ulysses; Christian & Missionary Alliance Church Food Pantry, Coudersport; and Methodist Church Food Pantry, Austin.
“The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers and its Potter County Advisory Board is committed to making an immediate impact. The Potter County Fund is an unrestricted endowment fund whose assets grow through gifts from the people of Potter County and investments,” said Suzanne Lee, President and CEO of the Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers.
