In response, the WCCBI and Warren County Commissioners, in conjunction with the Community Foundation and Warren Lions Club, launched the Frontline Assistance Fund. The program involves weekly deliveries of snacks, drinks, meals, and personal care items to multiple local institutions that are caring for vulnerable populations or populations already affected by the Coronavirus. Food and supplies, such as granola bars, chips, breakfast snacks, coffee, water, deodorant, shampoo, and other items will be purchased and stored at WCCBI, to be distributed weekly to our healthcare organizations. This will continue through December and January as the healthcare workers continue to address the pandemic. Local institutions include, but are not limited to: Warren General Hospital The Rouse Home and Suites Warren Manor Kinzua Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center Cambridge Warren Senior Living Watson Memorial Home EmergyCare of Warren We are excited to partner with the Community Foundation, Warren County Commissioners, and residents of Warren County, in helping those who are helping those of us in need, sacrificing their personal time and willingly putting themselves in harms way on our behalf. We greatly appreciate and applaud the generosity of our community in joining with us in providing the funds necessary to allow us to extend this thank you to all our local caregiver heroes. -WCCBI President/CEO, Jim Decker
