Angel Kropiewnicki, a former Mid Valley student who is now a Scranton High School freshman, founded the 501(c)3 nonprofit ARK Helps to assist anyone in the community. The organization’s first event, ARK Fest, takes place Sunday, Sept. 18, at the Atmosphere Rooftop Lounge at the Carbondale Grand Hotel. “For the past couple years, I’ve wanted to help people in any possible way,” she said. “I’ve seen tragic events happen.
