Gerrity’s The Fresh Grocer Supports UNC & WNEP Feed a Friend Program

United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNC) received a $738.00 donation for Feed a Friend from Gerrity’s the Fresh Grocer on Friday, December 15, 2023. Their eight Lackawanna County locations, including North Keyser Avenue, Meadow Avenue, and South Main Avenue in Scranton, Clarks Summit, Moosic, along with Gerrity’s Ace in Clarks Summit, Peckville, and Scranton, collected monetary donations and non-perishable food for the annual campaign.  Gerrity’s Supermarket customers bought 409 pre-packaged donations bags totaling $4,090 in addition to the monetary donations collected at their registers and service desks. All monetary donations to Feed a Friend helped feed families with children in Lackawanna County receive a gift card to a local grocery store to buy their favorite traditional foods to celebrate the holidays. UNC is grateful to be the designated Lackawanna County WNEP Feed a Friend agency for 39 years.
