Representatives of other agencies, including the Mahoning County Extension Office, which provides gardening and nutrition advice and coordinates the 4H program, and the Ohio Means Jobs career readiness program, are also present.

Schoolchildren are receiving free back packs filled with school supplies while supplies last.
