Downtown Scranton church opening bakery training program for formerly incarcerated people

A downtown Scranton church will start its workplace training program for formerly incarcerated people in January…. Goody and other Cypress board members say their organization will connect program members to a “community of support.” Alejandra Marroquin, a board member and social worker with the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, said St. Luke’s will create a kind of referral service. “Most of the individuals (formerly incarcerated people) sometimes have difficult backgrounds, so we want to be a support for them,” Marroquin said.
