KINGSTON -- A scout troop, a nursery school and a food pantry are teaming up to build a very special greenhouse in Luzerne County.

The structure is going up outside the Wyoming Valley Montessori School in Kingston.

When it is completed, students will grow veggies that will be donated to the food pantry across the street.

A local Eagle Scout candidate decided to make the greenhouse his project and on Saturday, his troop mates were helping him out.

Organizers say this will help the food pantry offer more nutritious fare.

"I feel it is important that all children have access to fresh produce, and at a food pantry most people donate canned items and that is not good enough," said Clancy Harrison from the Albeech Westside Food Pantry.

The goal is to get the greenhouse done by the spring.
