SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY -- The Scranton Cultural Center was packed Tuesday night with people enjoying a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

It was the annual Friends of the Poor Dinner and like always it was a mad house. Over 2,000 guests showed up to enjoy a meal with their community.

That means a lot of work - and some chaos. Sister Maryalice Jacquinot said, ÒThey're telling me it's organized in there, it doesn't feel that way because it's so crowded, but it's a great sense of community."

Despite the number of people and all the necessary coordination - the dinner went off without a hitch.

People tell us they enjoy the event because they make new friends and get together with the community.

This was the 33rd annual Friends of the Poor Dinner.
