The county’s Area Agency on Aging handles senior nutrition and aging resources at 570‑946‑4316, and the Sullivan County Assistance Office for benefits questions is 570‑946‑7174.

Call your elderly neighbors and check on them. Follow the guidelines, stay home and remember we are all in this together.”

A quick verification note for readers: other counties named Sullivan (notably in New York and Indiana) maintain separate systems and phone lines; do not use out‑of‑state numbers in place of the Pennsylvania contacts above.

Transportation: rides, grocery delivery and coordination For residents who can’t drive to medical appointments or grocery runs, the county contact list gives a local grocery‑delivery contact: Andy Bohensky, reachable at 570‑928‑7825, who fields questions about delivery options in and around the county. If transportation or local business supports are needed for larger mobility projects, Economic Development Director Chris Roenning can be reached at 570‑946‑5207; Roenning’s office is the county entry point for DCED business loans, SBA Disaster Loan Program assistance and Northern Tier Regional Planning & Development Commission resources that sometimes fund transit or delivery services.

When a phone referral is required, dial 2‑1‑1 for broader health, human and social service referrals; the county contact list explains that “2‑1‑1 is a special abbreviated telephone number reserved in Canada and the United States as an easy‑to‑remember three‑digit telephone number meant to provide information and referrals to health, human, and social service organizations.” For questions that overlap state programs — for example, Medicaid‑related transportation in other states — the county list points users toward state or regional program lines; for Pennsylvania statewide public‑health guidance, use the PA Department of Health website listed in the county resource sheet.

Food assistance, pantry hours and senior meals Emergency food and pantry access in Sullivan County, Pa. is centralized through named local contacts: Barb Davis runs the county food pantry line at 570‑924‑4465, and Trehab food assistance is administered through Karen Newhart at 570‑928‑2119.

The county resource list also points residents to the Sullivan County Courthouse site and to statewide unemployment and benefit pages — including the PA Unemployment Compensation line at 888‑313‑7284 and the pandemic unemployment assistance email UCPUA@pa.gov — for people whose food insecurity stems from job loss.

If you need a rapid referral, county officials direct people to dial 2‑1‑1 or visit the PA Department of Health and CDC pages listed on the county sheet for broader guidance; locally curated resources were compiled specifically “during this COVID‑19 pandemic and beyond,” so callers should confirm hours before traveling. The contact list also includes the County Commissioners’ phone at 570‑946‑5201 for any county‑level coordination and the county’s note of reassurance: “We will get through this unusual time. Call your elderly neighbors and check on them. Follow the guidelines, stay home and remember we are all in this together.”

Closing, currency and what the county still needs to clarify These phone numbers and names come from the Sullivan County, Pennsylvania Community Resource Contact List (copyright 2025) and are the immediate, county‑level lines to call for health, transportation and food assistance. The county resource sheet also references broader partnerships and the Greater Sullivan County Public Health Network (GSCPHN) and a truncated partner name (“Southwestern C”) that need clarification in follow‑up reporting; if you rely on a program cited here, confirm hours and eligibility by calling the numbers listed above or by dialing 2‑1‑1 for referrals.
