HARRISBURG, Pa (WJAC) — One of the legal Pennsylvania Skill Game companies, whose games are manufactured by Pace-O-Matic and Miele Manufacturing, announced in a release Thursday that it has donated $250,000 to Feeding Pennsylvania, the state association of Feeding America Food Banks.
Officials say the donation will be distributed among the nine Feeding PA food banks throughout the state, and will help provide 750,000 meals to families that are struggling with food insecurity during the current virus pandemic.
“On behalf of our member food banks, Feeding Pennsylvania is incredibly grateful for the generous contribution from Pennsylvania Skill,” said Jane Clements-Smith, executive director of Feeding Pennsylvania.
“We know that while unemployment numbers skyrocket, the need for essentials, including food, will only increase, and thanks to donors like Pennsylvania Skill, we will continue to work to ensure that no one in Pennsylvania goes without nutritious food.”
Pennsylvania Skill officials add that despite their company being temporarily shut down, they recognize the importance of investing their time and money into more critical organizations, such as Feeding PA.
“This is a time when we all must do whatever we can to assist our neighbors and communities,” said Nicole Miele, who runs Pennsylvania Skill Charitable Giving
“Even before our current economic hardship, one in six children in this state was at risk of hunger. This is a huge need and we want to help.”
