Turkey Trot benefiting Friends of the Poor

The Turkey Trot was held on November 12th to benefit Friends of the Poor, a non-profit agency that has served the Scranton area since 1986. The organization seeks to ease the burden of living in poverty and enhance the quality of life for all. They operate eight food pantries throughout the county, as well as offer clothing, furniture, household items, utility assistance, medical transportation, summer camps, after-school programs, among other programs. The event is run by second year students of the Geisinger School of Medicine. Over $12,000 was raised.  AllOne Charities is pleased to partner with the students as the fiscal agent of the event.
