PITTSFIELD Four organizations shared in grants Thursday through a Pike County endowment.
Barry Food Pantry, Pike County Dental Clinic, Western Community Center YMCA and John Wood Community College were recipients of competitive grants offered by The Community Foundation and selected by volunteers.
“These particular grants came out of our Pike County endowment. The Community Foundation was formed in 1997 and launched the County Endowment Match in November 2012 as a way to develop endowments in the counties it serves.
Blickhan said that the goal is to build permanent charitable funds that serve the community in various ways.
“We build for the community we serve,” Blickhan said. The organizations that were assisted have a broad impact on public health, but the foundation has been known to assist with arts programs, human services, cultural programs, and many other styles of organizations.
