In an effort to help food pantries across the state, Gov. Justice established the “Posey Perry Emergency Food Fund,” in honor of his late uncle, a retired coal miner who volunteered in food banks. The food grants will be managed by the “Mountaineer Food Bank” and “Facing Hunger Food Bank,” and agencies can apply for a pool of grants totaling $10 million. Food banks are also in need of donations of non-perishable food and money as the holidays approach.
