SitemapAs part of its centennial celebration, the United Way of
Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley will host its annual Day of Caring Sept. 6.
The event is the largest in the chapter’s history, with more
than 1,200 volunteers registered from 90 area businesses and organizations.
“In 1919, our founders set the foundation to ensure a positive future for the men, women and children of our Valley. I strongly believe they would be extremely proud to see how we are able to mobilize more than a thousand people to volunteer in just one day,” he said in a statement.
Most volunteers, 850 of them, will be working on Youngstown’s south side, in an area bordered by Glenwood Avenue, Oakhill Avenue, Cohasset Drive and Breaden Street. There, Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. is partnering with The Salvation Army and Meridian Services for a community clean-up.
