STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— A plan is developing among borough officials and a variety of local groups, both faith-based and secular, to build a food resource center in Stroudsburg. The idea came from Father Bruce Gowe of Christ Episcopal Church, which is next door to the borough building who says they were outgrowing their basement food pantry.

And we're hoping this pantry will help meet some of that need and take some of the burden off a lot of the individual nonprofits," voiced Joshua Loomis, community organizer.
