The Youngstown Foundation recently awarded the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley a gift of $100,000. The money, the largest gift from any foundation during this campaign, will go toward United Way’s 2011 Campaign and its Success By 6 initiative for 2012, said Bob Hannon, United Way president.

“This generous gift will go directly toward our focused initiatives of Education, Income, Health, and Community Support Services that provide support to those in need of food, clothing and shelter,” Hannon said.

“We trust that this grant will help United Way bolster education as well as critical social- service organizations to bring a better quality of life to those in need. Likewise, it is our hope that this gift inspires individual, community, foundation and corporate donors to likewise support this organization’s vital services,” said Jan Strasfeld, Youngstown Foundation executive director.
