Donate to fight hunger


YOUNGSTOWN

Protestant Family Service, 486 Glenwood Ave., is joining in Alan Shawn Feinstein’s 13th annual $1 million giveaway to fight hunger. Feinstein’s past challenges to fight hunger have raised a record $1 billion for more than 2,000 agencies nationwide.

Agencies report donations received during March and April that will go toward the Feinstein challenge. Donations can include cash, checks and food items (valued at $1 per item or pound). Feinstein will award agencies between $250 and $40,000, and the awards are proportionate to the amount that each agency receives during the collection.

Also, the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio award Protestant Family Service a $7,000 grant to address the needs of seniors. PFS is a nonprofit agency that helps individuals and families.
