SOUTH ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, LACKAWANNA COUNTY
Teens from the Summit Baptist Bible Church in South Abington Township are trying to help people in need in Lackawanna County. Thus far they have collected 1500 pounds of non perishable food which is then given to social service agencies in the area.
The food was collected during a door to door drive conducted on October 12th. Cash contributions were used to buy additional food products.
Some 800 pounds of food was donated to United Neighborhood Centers which had just made a public appeal because its food bank shelves were empty>
The students plan another food collection drive on Sunday, October 19th. | |
