PIKE COUNTY, Mo. — Kirsten White, Pike County Service Coordinator at the not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC), looks over a new Feed Your Neighbors food box that will soon be installed for use by Pike County residents.

The free, 24-hour service will be available to those who want to pick up food and hygiene products or drop them off. The goal is to supplement other local programs by offering another option for people in need.

Additional food boxes are planned elsewhere. NECAC already operated the service in Lewis, Monroe, Ralls, Randolph, Shelby and Warren counties. To find out more about contributing to the Pike County effort, call White at 573-324-2207.
