Exciting things are happening at CHOP Out Hunger’s Scranton branch! The walls are framed, the drywall is going up, and we’re getting closer every day to the grand reopening of our space. In just a few short weeks, we’ll be able to welcome our dedicated staff, loyal supporters, and incredible volunteers back into a refreshed, functional, and inspiring environment.

This renovation is more than just a facelift—it’s a crucial step in expanding our impact. With a well-designed volunteer packing area, a welcoming lounge, and an optimized workspace, we’ll be able to serve more children, engage more volunteers, and create an even greater sense of community within our walls.

We can’t wait to share this space with you! Stay tuned for updates, and get ready to join us in celebrating this milestone for CHOP Out Hunger. Thank you for being part of this journey—we couldn’t do it without you!
