DURYEA — A partnership with Commission on Economic Opportunity Weinberg Food Bank has been formed to offer distribution of a monthly supplemental food supply to residents of Duryea.
This partnership gives residents who meet federal household income guidelines the opportunity to register with CEO and be offered a monthly supplemental food distribution.
Distribution will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. the second Monday of each month in the parish hall, lower level of Holy Rosary Church of Nativity of Our Lord Parish, 125 Stephenson St. Arrangements can be made to load vehicles of residents who are not able to use stairs. Deliveries are not available.
The first distribution is Monday, April 10. Prospective participants must pre-register by April 3. Borough residents and households that meet household income and residency guidelines should contact Lois Hanczyc at 570-457-2482.
Currently, enrollment is always open. Residences/households must do so by the Monday prior to distribution dates.
During distribution time, the registered member of a household is required to bring a valid ID (driver’s license or photo ID), as well as proof of residence for each member of the household (a bill, report card or other official documentation). Failure to provide necessary documentation as required by CEO will result in no distribution.
Organizers Duryea residents, Ed Ameika, Lois Hancyzc, Deacon Andre Kabacinski, and Jeff Bauman along with other community volunteers.
