An anonymous couple gave a bunch of money to give Easter dinners to the community.
“[The couple that donated the money for these dinners] wanted to ensure that struggling families in Venango County didn't have to worry about a hot meal on Easter. Their passion and heart for the residents of Venango County goes way beyond just making a donation, they truly want to make an impact in residents lives and to make Venango County a great place to live and work,” said Will Price in a press release before the event. Price is the executive director of the United Way of Venango County,

On Saturday the United Way took that donation and with the help of Franklin's Rotary and the local fire police, they doled out hames, at home COVID tests and a $15 voucher for food at Sander's Market.
They had a thousand hams to giveaway and over 800 households took advantage. The remaining hams not picked up still benefitted those in need. Price said they will be delivered to local food pantries for distribution. “We know that families in Venango County are still feeling the financial effects of the pandemic," said Price.

The drive thru event was held at the Rocky Grove Fire Hall on Saturday.
