On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, the traveling 'People of Hope Museum' made a stop in the city of Scranton.

The 53-foot museum, housed in a tractor trailer, began visiting communities across the country in March and tells the story of the work of Catholic Charities USA and other local Catholic agencies, including Catholic Social Services of the Diocese of Scranton.

The free interactive museum experience was open to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in front of the Everhart Museum. It featured immersive exhibits, storytelling opportunities and reflections focused on poverty, compassion, and community service.

Visitors to the museum had the ability to watch video testimonies from people serving vulnerable populations in communities across the nation, hear stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed through acts of kindness, and participate in an interactive poverty simulation designed to foster empathy and understanding.

The traveling exhibit also featured an audio learning library featuring reflections and insights from nationally known voices discussing poverty, social isolation, and community engagement.
