Keystone UNICO members volunteered and donated to Saint Francis Kitchen as part of their Service Day activities. Chapter Members helped to prepare food for one of the many dinners served to those in need of a “Hand Up.”  Afterwards they were given the opportunity to help in the serving of that day’s meal. 

The kitchen is a full-service venue that has been recently upgraded and serves a full-course meal every day at noon and a second meal is served on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. 

Donations are welcome throughout the year and can be made payable to and mailed to Saint Francis Kitchen at 500 Penn Avenue, Scranton, PA 18509.
