Egg hunt planned

LIBERTY

Liberty Health Care Center, 1355 Church Hill-Hubbard Road, is having a Community Easter Egg Hunt and visit with the Easter Bunny at 2 p.m. Sunday to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley’s Harvest for Hunger campaign.

Participants who bring canned goods to benefit Second Harvest have an opportunity to win a door prize. The more canned goods you bring, the more chances you have to win the door prize.

All funds raised and food collected remain in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties. For information on how to get involved in Harvest for Hunger, visit www.harvestforhunger.org. Second Harvest distributes food to 153 hunger-relief organizations in the tri-county area.

Liberty roads

Liberty

Citizens for Good Roads in Liberty Township will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the township administration building, 1315 Church Hill-Hubbard Road.

The organization is seeking volunteers who are willing to help with levy logistics such as passing out flyers, making phone calls and more. The Citizens for Good Roads committee has ascertained that a road levy is the only way to garner grant money to begin a road-resurfacing program. Without a levy, the only road repairs that could be accomplished would be patching existing potholes now and in the future.

Residents are encouraged to visit www.facebook.com/goodroadsliberty for more information.
