Sitemap140 dinners are being assembled that will include a ham, apple pie, cans of corn and beans, as well as a box of hot chocolate.
Two members of Youngstown City Council are working with a local business and community organization to offer free ham dinners for the holiday season.
Sixth Ward Councilwoman Anita Davis and Fifth Ward Councilwoman Lauren McNally announced that 140 dinners are being assembled that will include a ham, apple pie, cans of corn and beans, as well as a box of hot chocolate.
The dinners will be distributed on a first come, first served basis at Glenwood Park between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Tuesday, December 20, 2022.
In addition, hot dogs and drinks will be available during the giveaway, courtesy of Glenwood Ground coffee shop.
"With the increased cost of groceries and the shortages being reported at food pantries across the country, we wanted to try and ease the burden for our residents,” McNally told 21 News.
The two council members worked with the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation and Glenwood Grounds to make the giveaway possible.
