WAYNE COUNTY, PA — The WNEP Feed-A-Friend campaign has begun. Now in its 30th year, WNEP-TV, Pepsi-Cola and the community have collected and distributed food to needy families in many local communities. All of the money and food collected in Wayne County stays in Wayne County to help support local food pantries. Donation bottles, sponsored by Pepsi, and barrels marked “Feed-A-Friend,” will be on display throughout November for non-perishable items.

Barrels and/or canisters are placed at Cellular One NEPA, Cordaro’s, Highland Physicians, The Hideout POA, Lake Region IGA, Mane Creations, Ray’s ShurSave, Hairway to Heaven (Hawley), Shaffer’s Hardware, Stephen’s Pharmacy, Dave’s Super Duper, Meagher Professional Building (4th Street), Wal-Mart, Wayne Bank (Hawley/Main Street and Willow Avenue/Honesdale and Waymart), Wayne County YMCA and Wayne Memorial Hospital (emergency department waiting area and outpatient waiting area) as well as many other local businesses.

Monetary donations can also be mailed directly to the Wayne County Food Pantry Program, 323 Tenth St., Honesdale, PA 18431. For more information or to obtain a canister or barrel, call Kathleen at the Wayne County Aging Office at 570/253-4262, or email cfaatz@co.wayne.pa.us or kterry@co.wayne.pa.us.
