40 Years of Feed A Friend

UNC is grateful to be the designated Lackawanna County WNEP Feed a Friend agency since its inaugural year in 1984. For 40 years, UNC has received non-perishable food items and monetary donations to make the holidays brighter for families in Lackawanna County. 

Every year, more than 1,500 families with children in Lackawanna County rely on the Feed A Friend program for a holiday meal. As we approach the holiday season, we’re asking for your support to ensure that every family has a meal on their table. By donating, you are helping families in our community enjoy a warm meal and the joy of the season. Together, we can make a difference. To make a monetary donation, go to: uncnepa.org/one-time-donation/

If you are a family in need with children in Lackawanna County, you can register to receive a $50 gift card for a local grocery store. This allows families to choose items consistent with their traditions and cultures to celebrate Thanksgiving. For a complete list of locations for families to register, go to uncnepa.org/thanksgiving

UNC is coordinating with over 70 locations in Lackawanna County that collect non-perishable items for our Angel’s Attic Food and Clothing Pantry at 410 Olive Street in Scranton. For a list of participating agencies and grocery chains collecting donations, visit wnep.com/feedafriend
