WILKES-BARRE – Community leaders gathered Wednesday morning in Boscov’s department store to discuss opportunities to benefit Northeastern Pennsylvania by raising not only money, but awareness of the needs of area residents.
Irene Kelly, public relations director of Boscov’s Wilkes-Barre store, is coordinating the store’s sixth annual Christmas in July and other events, which will benefit local nonprofits.
The Christmas in July effort will run the entire month of July and raise money for food and clothing for people in need, especially members of the local homeless population. It is a cooperative effort that includes Catholic Social Services of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties and the Commission on Economic Opportunity
