Our Planned Activities;

The District A Fund, which is administered by the Luzerne Foundation, was created to support efforts to improve the quality of life for residents of the City of Wilkes-Barre. Together with the Luzerne Foundation and a team of dedicated volunteers, funds are being raised to maintain, repair and improve existing municipal and community facilities throughout the District, as well as to enhance the safety and security for all residents. By identifying and prioritizing projects within the District, the Fund will provide necessary services not funded by Wilkes-Barre city tax revenue.
