The Pennyrile Area Development District has received a 2021 Aliceann Wohlbruck Impact Award from the National Association of Development Organizations
According to a news release, the award was presented to PADD for the Home Delivered and Curbside COVID Meals project that took place throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the COVID19 pandemic, there were approximately 260 individuals on a waiting list for home delivered meals throughout the Pennyrile region. Additional federal funding received because of the COVID-19 pandemic allowed all of those individuals on the waiting list to receive access to home delivered meals five days per week.
In addition to serving all those on the waiting list, PADD was also able to serve an additional 1,170 clients with home delivered meals.
The Pennyrile Area Agency on Aging and Independent Living, through a subcontract with Pennyrile Allied Community Services, provides hot, freshly prepared meals five days per week to all nine counties in the Pennyrile Region.
