Honor a cancer patient

An ongoing UPMC Horizon Community Health Foundation fundraiser offers a way to honor cancer patients while helping current cancer patients.

For a $10 donation, a cancer patient may be remembered on a personalized tiki torch to be displayed at the foundation’s Attitudes and Latitudes Luau on Aug. 20 at Oak Tree Country Club in Shenango Township, Pa. Tiki torch order forms are available at the UPMC facilities in Farrell and Greenville, Pa.

Checks may be made payable to the UPMC Horizon Community Health Foundation and mailed, along with the form, to the attention of the foundation at 2200 Memorial Drive, Farrell, PA 16121.

Town-hall meeting

Issues including the state budget’s impact on the local economy, prison- sentencing reform and a proposal to require photo identification for voters will be discussed at a town-hall meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at the New Bethel Baptist Church’s old sanctuary, 1507 Hillman St., Youngstown. The doors open at 5:15 p.m.

The event is sponsored by the Youngstown-Warren Chapter of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, ACTION, Youngstown Community Mobilization Committee, Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, Baptist Pastors Council, Union Baptist Core Team, and SEIU/Fight for a Fair Economy, members of Youngstown City Council and the Mahoning- Trumbull AFL-CIO.

Help a child

Hospice of the Valley and the Big Reach Center of Hope have joined forces for a program, “Help a Child.”

The goal is to make the first day of school a good experience by providing each child with new clothing and supplies.

Those who sign up will receive a packet containing a child’s age, shirt size, pant size, underwear size, and shoe and sock size.

Participants may have more than one packet.

To receive your packet, call Liz McGarry, director of development/marketing, Hospice of the Valley, at 330-788-1992, or email her at Liz_McGarry@HMIS.org.
