SHAMOKIN — Central Susquehanna Opportunities Inc. (CSO) assisted upwards of 50 Northumberland County households with a Fresh Food Pantry Friday at the Northumberland County Career and Technology Center.
Members of CSO and volunteers from the American Red Cross worked in unison as they placed boxes of dairy products, meat and other foods into vehicles of pre-registered households that drove up to the building’s second floor main entrance.
