Lacey Hanson came to Warren Rotary Club this past week to talk about the United Fund of Warren County and it’s support of PA 2-1-1.
All campaign and administration of the United Fund of Warren County costs are covered by income from an endowment fund administered by the Community Foundation of Warren County. That means that 100% of your tax deductible gifts goes directly to member agencies serving the Warren County communities.
PA 2‑1‑1 Northwest is part of the national 2‑1‑1 Call Centers initiative that seeks to provide an easy-to-remember telephone number and web resource for finding health and human services– for everyday needs and in crisis situations. Search our vast database of services and providers to find the help you need today.
The Rotary Club of Warren, in partnership with Warren County Development Association, received a generous donation from the Northwest Charitable Foundation to be used toward the construction of the multi-sensory inclusive playground that is to be built as part of the City of Warren’s renovations of Lacy Park, which they will tentatively break ground on in the summer of 2019.

Backpack Program Packing!
12 Warren Rotarian showed up early this past Saturday morning to pack food for the backpack program. We packed about 530 in 2 hours!
Each backpack contains enough food for at least two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners and two snacks. Depending on the type and amount of food items within the backpack, children may be provided more meals than that. The contents of a recent backpack include: a box of Tasty-oh’s cereal, beefaroni, chicken ravioli, macaroni and cheese, and a four pack of mandarin oranges.
Gabrielle is a member of the Key Club, a hardworking student and always has a positive attitude.
Our speaker was Megan Inghram, an Ambassador of Hope for Shared Hope International.
Shared Hope International strives to prevent the conditions that foster sex trafficking, restore victims of sex slavery, and bring justice to vulnerable women and children. We envision a world passionately opposed to sex trafficking and a committed community restoring survivors to lives of purpose, value and choice – one life at a time
If you suspect trafficking call the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) – they work closely with the local law enforcement, FBI and social services to identify victims, traffickers, buyers and exploiters.
Wednesday we also had our student of the month, Sarah Fromknecht and her father Dave join us for lunch.
