BlackOut recently had an opportunity to work with one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s leading social service and counseling organizations, Jewish Family Service of Lackawanna County, in an effort to expand the reach and impact of the group’s compassionate message.
Jewish Family Service of Lackawanna County has been providing professional counseling, advocacy and educational programming in the Greater Scranton area for over 90 years.
BlackOut built a new site for the organization that details their many human service and donation programs, making it easy for site visitors to seek assistance, make a donation or volunteer to help Jewish Family Service of Lackawanna County.

BlackOut recently designed and launched three websites, a blog and a wiki for the Insitutue for Public Policy and Economic Development, helping to bring online the Institute’s reputation as the most comprehensive resource for housing information in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The project included an Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development portal page with information on the goals and history of the organization. From the portal page, users can find more detailed housing information by following links to the Lackawanna County Housing Coalition site or the Luzerne County Housing Partnership site.
Each county-specific site features a wealth of information on buying, selling, building or refinancing a home, as well as resources for contractors and developers.
BlackOut allowed the Institute to further extend the reach of its message with a wiki and a blog to open a dialogue with homeowners and potential homeowners in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Scranton is gearing up for one of its biggest annual events, La Festa Italiana, which brings close to 100,000 visitors to the downtown area each year to celebrate the culture and cuisine of Italy.
This year, BlackOut Design, Inc. was tasked with developing a design that captures the spirit and energy of Scranton’s Italian festival. Our designers generated a series of “looks” for La Festa organizers. Two of those were selected and will be seen on posters, shirts and promotional materials during the festival.
We at BlackOut are proud to be a part of this great community event. We’ll see you there over Labor Day weekend, August 30-September 1.
