District 3 commissioner announces community meeting to coordinate food and assistance networks
Summary
A Pike County commissioner announced a nonpolitical community meeting at Belfry Fire Department to bring together churches, volunteer fire departments, school staff, law enforcement and community leaders to coordinate responses for children and elderly residents facing food insecurity in District 3.
A Pike County commissioner announced a community meeting to launch a district-level effort to connect churches, volunteer firefighters, school resource staff, law enforcement and other community partners to respond more quickly when children or elderly residents face food insecurity.
The commissioner said the gathering, scheduled for 5:00 p.m. at Belfry Fire Department, is intended to develop a nonpolitical, practical plan to network existing resources, including volunteer fire departments, sheriffs, state police and school resource staff, to deliver food or assistance when someone falls through program gaps. The presenter emphasized the meeting’s focus is practical coordination rather than policy debate.
The commissioner invited all interested community members and leaders to attend and said the Belfry venue can accommodate roughly 150–200 people. The court did not debate or vote on any formal program or funding at the meeting; this item was announced as an invitation for community partners to collaborate.
