The city of Vincennes distributed $100,000 in grant funding to 7 local food pantries as part of the ORCA COVID-19 Response Program grant. The reimbursable grant monies will allow them to expand their services due to the increased demand during the ongoing pandemic. Mayor Joe Yochum made the check presentations Monday during the Board of Works and Safety meeting. The amounts ranged from $2500 up to $35,000. As part of the grant program, $150,000 will be presented by the city to local businesses  also affected by the pandemic in the near future.
