York Dispatch

The York County Food Bank is in the running to receive a $25,000 grant — and it needs the votes of York County residents in order to come out on top among 200 other organizations.

Residents have until 11:59 p.m. Friday to vote for the food assistance nonprofit, which was selected as a finalist for the State Farm Neighborhood Assist program.

Any resident who is 18 and older with an email address can vote by visiting www.neighborhoodassist.com/entry/2038201.
