2020 ANNUAL REPORT MISSION leadership message Dear Friends, To work together with As I reflect on 2020, it has been a year full of unprecedented challenges that have revealed new insights about our resilience and adaptability – as individuals and as neighbors to provide a community. I started my term as Board Chair in January, and by March, we were faced with a global pandemic. It is during times like these that I am most proud to be services and create a part of United Neighborhood Centers, knowing the work we have been able to ac- opportunities that complish amidst such adversity. empower individuals COVID-19 forced the agency to rapidly pivot in the ways we typically serve the vulner- able populations in our community. We immediately implemented safety procedures and build strong, and reduced on-site staff while continuing to meet basic needs, such as food, utilities assistance, housing interdependent support, and other emergency services. Through a waiver from the state, we were able to keep one of our child care centers open and offered care for children of essential workers. communities. When area senior centers were ordered to close, UNC worked with the Lackawanna County Area Agency on Aging to distribute take-home meals for hundreds of older adults each week. In July, the doors of the West Side Center reopened as part of the county’s new Healthy Aging Campus network.

Connectivity has been a critical lifeline in delivering UNC programs to families, youth, older adults, and immigrants during this time. Virtual classes and presentations have replaced in-person gatherings when necessary. Case management and tutoring have been done by phone. For clients who could not access or navigate technology, agency departments have designed e-learning support programs.

The UNC team was able to forge ahead with its new revitalization project in the Pine Brook section of Scranton. We began working with a consultant to develop a five-year neighborhood plan and established a United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania Board of Directors steering committee of community representatives. This is an exciting initiative, which will benefit residents and business owners for years to come.
