In May, the WCCF board approved grant recommendations totaling $19,000 to three nonprofit organizations.

• The Orrville United Way to support the Percy’s Backpack Program that seeks to help alleviate child hunger by addressing the lack of food resources on weekends and holidays;
  
• People to People Ministries for food, clothing and resource access for vulnerable Wayne County youth in collaboration with OHuddle Inc.;
  
• Wooster Hope Center for its BackPack of Food Program that serves 13 elementary schools throughout Wayne County.
