Greater Pike Community Foundation Executive Director Jenni Hamill recently presented a check for $1,000 to the Shohola Railroad and Historical Society (SRHS), one of three nonprofits to receive a grant this year from the Barbara J. Buchanan Fund at Greater Pike. On hand at the presentation ceremony (the first in-person one for Greater Pike since 2019!) were Society President Rolf Buchman, member Linda Harding-Buchman and board member Lorraine Gregory.

Hamill said, “We are pleased to be able to support all corners of Pike County’s nonprofit community.” She noted that Barbara Buchanan established the fund “to support community organizations with innovative ideas for improving quality of life, and she was also an avid supporter of local historic preservation.”

The Shohola Railroad and Historical Society will use the grant to purchase display cases for a special room in the township building so artifacts that cannot fit in the Caboose Museum of Shohola will be available year-round for public viewing. Two other grants from the Barbara J. Buchanan Fund this year went to Growing Older Together and the Pike County Historical Society.

Greater Pike helps individuals, families and local businesses to provide a permanent and personal way to give back to the community.
