NeighborWorks Northeastern Pennsylvania (NeighborWorks) recently accepted a contribution from FNCB Bank, in the amount of $25,000 through the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development's Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP).
The contribution will support the Beautiful Blocks Program for 2024. Beautiful Blocks, which is jointly sponsored by NeighborWorks, the City of Scranton, the City of Carbondale and the City of Pittston, provides matching grants of up to $1,000 to each member of a group of at least five residents to help them make exterior improvements to their homes in their respective municipalities. Grants are awarded annually through a competitive application process.
“We are grateful to our good friends at FNCB Bank for this very generous contribution through the Neighborhood Assistance Program,” said Shane Powers, NeighborWorks Northeastern Pennsylvania President & CEO. “They have been an amazing partner for many years and we are excited to put their investment to good use this year in our Beautiful Blocks Program.”
