BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – A local nonprofit is seeking to help feed families in need on Tuesday morning and is looking for assistance.
Led by nonprofit United Way Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, their goal is to provide over 140,000 meals to families across the Valley.
They’re looking for volunteers to lead a meal packing line. Also collaborating with United Way Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley is Direction Home of Eastern Ohio and Meals of Hope to help distribute food across the region.
The event starts at 9:30 a.m. at the United Way Volunteer Resource Center on Market Street in Boardman. Supplies, training, and equipment will be provided.
The meals packed will be distributed through Gleaners Food Bank, MYCAP, United Way, and Heart Reach Ministries, reaching older adults and families throughout the region in the coming weeks.
