We also want people to know that the residents over there are part of our community. We want to support them, encourage them, and make them feel like they belong with us," Steve Ward, Scranton Tomorrow's Project Manager, said.Donations can be dropped off at Scranton Tomorrow's office at 317 Linden Street through Friday afternoon.Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
