SCRANTON, Pa. — The family of Jim Barrett gathered along Olive Street in Scranton on Sunday to give away food, school supplies, sleeping bags, and toiletries to those in need.
Jim Barrett died last year, and his family says he was all about helping others.
"He was all about working with anybody in need and those at a disadvantage. So he died relatively suddenly, so I thought in his honor, we'd come together as a community. To help make a difference in even a small portion of anyone's life. We needed to do that for him," said Jim’s daughter, Marybeth Barrett.
The Barrett family hopes to make this an annual tradition in Scranton.
