Scranton Students Fill Thanksgiving Food Baskets for 175 Area Families

         The University of Scranton’s Community Outreach Office organized a Thanksgiving food drive for local families in need. More than 150 students participated by collecting donations, picking up food items and assembling and delivering 175 food baskets – complete with turkeys and all the trimmings - to the Feed a Friend program of United Neighborhood Centers, the food pantry at St. Paul’s Church and the University’s Leahy Community Health and Family Center for distribution to area families.
