Tuesday, December 26, 2023. 

On December 13, 2023 the W. and H. Bender Memorial Fund awarded a $1,500 grant to YNDC for Glenwood Neighbors Community Safety program.

The program will engage residents and business owners in the neighborhoods along Glenwood Avenue in Youngstown in a coordinated effort to prevent crime by using evidence-based practices for crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), including installing lighting and doorbell security cameras on homes, businesses, and in public spaces that are in the vicinity of hotspots of violent crime. YNDC will work with resident leaders, business owners, and the Youngstown Police Department to implement the program. Thanks to the W. and H. Bender Memorial Fund for the support!
