As the temperatures drop, my office is gearing up for its annual coat drive. Beginning this Tuesday, October 11, new and gently used coats will be accepted at both 409 North Main Avenue in Scranton and at 307 Betty Street in Eynon.

Collected coats will be donated to Friends of the Poor and to anyone in need all throughout the winter. Coats of all sizes are welcome.

Thank you in advance for your contributions!

On Wednesday, November 30 at 5:30PM at the Taylor Community Library, join Senator Marty Flynn and representatives from Pennie, PA’s health care marketplace, to learn about health care enrollment and meet with certified assisters to enroll on the spot!

If you are in need of health care coverage or need to change your current health plan, now is the time! Pennie, Pennsylvania’s health care marketplace, is in open enrollment now until January 15, 2023.
