A new food pantry opened during the first weekend in December in Lackawanna County.
The Valley Village of Volunteers distributes food donations to the residents of Dickson City, Olyphant and Throop.
The organization started in 2020 to help seniors during the pandemic. On Saturday, Dec. 3., it opened a permanent location at the former Dickson City Community Ambulance building at 2 Eagle Lane in the borough.
Volunteers will distribute nonperishable items every other Saturday. There are no income requirements.
