On Friday, September 6, The United Way of
Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, City of Youngstown, Red Cross, and YNDC
partnered for the 22nd Annual Day of Caring.
Over 700 volunteers participated in a large
scale cleanup of the south side in the area bounded by Glenwood Avenue, Oak
Hill Avenue, Warren Avenue and Kenmore Avenue. Participants completed: the
removal of 1,124 cubic yards of brush and debris from vacant properties (38
tractor trailer loads), removal of 364 illegally-dumped tire, clearing of 2,380
linear feet of overgrown and impassable sidewalks, installation of 127 smoke
detectors and 145 LED security lights, demolition of 7 garages at occupied
homes, and revitalization of one neighborhood park. In the days leading up to
the event the City of Youngstown demolished more than 20 abandoned houses. 170
properties received improvements during the day of service. Thank you to all
the volunteers and sponsors that made this work possible! REVITALIZE!
