There are so many families with children and elderly neighbors who would not be able to enjoy a holiday meal without our community’s help. With such an immense need ahead of us this year, the CEO/Weinberg Food Bank needs your help!

Looking for help, but not from Luzerne or Wyoming Counties - see below for other nearby communities:
