Nov. 2—The Wayne County Community Foundation announced a Worker Crisis Fund to help keep employees working in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Through referrals from the Wayne Pike Workforce Alliance, the foundation will use assets from the fund to alleviate barriers to employment. The fund will fill the gap of services that are not supported through other state or federal programs.

Donations will be matched by a foundation board member and their spouse, up to $5,000. To make a donation, visit WayneFoundation.org and select "Worker Crisis Fund" on the Donate Today page or send a check to The Wayne County Community Foundation, 214 Ninth St., Honesdale, PA 18431, with "Worker Crisis Fund" in the memo.
