UNC’s Carbondale Farmers Market has Special NBT Bank Day

United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNC) invites all media outlets and community members to join us on Thursday, June 5, for a special NBT Bank Day at our year-round Carbondale Farmers Market. The market is held every Thursday from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Fallbrook Community Center, located at 185 Fallbrook Street, Carbondale.

This event recognizes NBT Bank, our Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (PA DCED) Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) tax credit partner, for their investment in the Carbondale

Farmers Market. Through the PA DCED program, NBT Bank has played a vital role in supporting the market’s growth and long-term sustainability. The Neighborhood Assistance Program continues to strengthen the market by supporting vendor recruitment, marketing, and the development of local partnerships.

The market will feature all of our regular local vendors offering fresh produce, handmade goods, delicious

treats, and more. To mark the occasion, UNC will provide free pizza from Pat’s Pizza in Carbondale and free ice cream to enjoy while shopping. Each shopper will receive a reusable market bag (while supplies last), and Bobbie Cooks Bakery will offer a special birthday treat to celebrate their first year in business.

Shoppers can also enter a raffle—each purchase at any vendor earns an entry to win two season passes to Lakeland Orchard & Cidery and Roba Family Farms, a prize valued at $250. Families can also enjoy fun outdoor activities, including games with UNC’s brand-new cornhole boards, free to play.

UNC’s Carbondale Farmers Market accepts SNAP/EBT. Benefit cardholders can receive an additional $2 for every

$4 spent through the Food Bucks incentive program. For more information on SNAP/EBT, Food Bucks, or to become a cooking demonstrator, contact Lee Eckardt, Farmers Market Manager, at fm@uncnepa.org.

Carbondale Farmers Market is funded in part by a Collaborative Philanthropy Grant from AllOne Foundation & Charities and is also supported by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Neighborhood Partnership Program, with investments from Honesdale National Bank, NBT Bank, Gentex Corporation, and Mar-Paul Construction. Additional funding is financed in part by a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Community and Economic Development through the PA Fresh Food Financing Initiative, administered by The Food Trust.

Tobyhanna Opens Microelectronics Manufacturing Facility

WHAT: Tobyhanna Army Depot has officially opened is Microelectronics Manufacturing Facility, where surface mount technology is used to sustain critical military weapons systems.  Tobyhanna plays a key role in the DOD, and this new mission expands the organization’s massive capability portfolio.

WHEN: Thursday, Jun. 5 at 10 EST

WHERE: Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pennsylvania

WHY/BACKGROUND: The DOD relies on the global supply chain to provide microelectronics for developing and sustaining military weapons systems. A shortfall in domestic manufacturing and the introduction of counterfeit parts into the supply chain represents a significant risk to operational readiness for the Joint Force. In response to this challenge, Tobyhanna Army Depot is executing a four-phase project to prototype and produce surface mount technology circuit card assemblies (CCAs). Tobyhanna is improving its ability to repair, build, and inspect CCAs, ensuring they last longer and stay reliable. This effort includes studying designs, analyzing supply chain risks, reverse engineering old parts, and creating replicas of outdated components. The goal is to keep the DOD’s existing equipment running, meet new technology needs, and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.

This ceremony celebrates Tobyhanna Army Depot reaching operational capability on the microelectronics lab, which enables the depot to repair and manufacture circuit cards for DOD and foreign military sale needs. The future phases will expand capacity and capability at the depot. 

PARTICIPANTS: Ms. Liz Miranda, executive deputy to the commanding general, Army Materiel Command; Maj. Gen. James Turinetti, commanding general, Amy Communications-Electronics Command; and Col. James L. Crocker, commander of Tobyhanna Army Depot.

Media interview available on request. 

If you wish to attend the ceremony, please RSVP to Danielle Weinschenk, TYAD PA, danielle.e.weinschenk.civ@army.mil.

PLEASE NOTE THAT A REAL-ID COMPLIANT IDENTIFICATION IS REQUIRED TO ACCESS TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT.
