Mount Pocono was one of 12 sites where Geisinger served free drive-through dinners to U.S. military veterans and their guests on Thursday, Nov. 5.
The health system provided nearly 3,500 meals across its service area that evening, according to a Geisinger news release. The meals were provided at no cost to veterans and their guests.
Other dinner locations included Bloomsburg, Danville, Jersey Shore, Lewistown, Mifflintown, Muncy, Pittston, Scranton, Shamokin, State College and Wilkes-Barre.
Members of Geisinger's executive leadership team, regional leaders, staff and volunteers helped distribute meals at the events. Geisinger Volunteer Services also partnered with local elementary schools. Students made homemade cards and notes that were given to veterans alongside their dinners.
