UNC’s Carbondale Farmers Market to Hold Honesdale National Bank Day

United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNC) invites all media outlets and community members to join us on Thursday, June 26, for a special Honesdale National 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 The Honesdale National 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, The Honesdale National 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 ice cream from Scoopz Ice Cream Truck between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, and each shopper will receive a reusable market bag (while supplies last). Special guest vendor Rowlands Pennsylvania Produce will be joining us, along with the Fat Guys on Wheels food truck and fun activities for families—including UNC’s brand-new cornhole games. And don’t forget to book your tee time for our golf simulator, open from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
