PPL Grant Announced for The Wayne County Community Foundation

The Wayne County Community Foundation is pleased to announce it has received a $5,000 grant from the PPL Foundation. These funds will support our community empowering initiatives through our Worker Crisis Fund.

The Worker Crisis Fund is a partnership between the Wayne County Community Foundation and the Wayne Pike Workforce Alliance. The fund provides support to individuals running into barriers to employment that aren’t supported through other state and federal programs, such as car repairs and employment support.

“A little boost, in times of need, can make a major difference in the lives of local families. Whether facing unexpected medical expenses, vehicle repairs, or other barriers to employment, the Worker Crisis Fund and our collaborative partnership with the Wayne Pike Workforce Alliance can remove these hurdles for our neighbors experiencing economic hardships. We'd like to thank the PPL Foundation for their support of the Worker Crisis Fund and area workers in need of a hand." - Derek Williams, Community Grant Writer.

“We sincerely appreciate the support from PPL Foundation to ensure that barriers to employment are broken down for Wayne County residents.” - Ryanne Jennings, Wayne County Community Foundation President / CEO.
