Rescue Mission receives generous donation of turkeys

YOUNGSTOWN

A Boardman couple, Jon and Jennifer Lewis, grateful for what the Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley did to turn around the life of their son, Dhylan Spano, today donated nearly 1,500 pounds of turkey to the mission for its Thanksgiving dinners.

Spano, 19, kicked out of his home in North Carolina, where he lived with his mother because of drug problems, found a ride back to Ohio to rejoin his father, Jon, a Boardman Township firefighter.

Anyone who wishes to donate a frozen turkey or frozen ham may drop it off at the Mission’s Resident Building, 962 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., anytime; or at 2246 Glenwood Ave. weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. To make a financial contribution, go to www.rescuemissionmv.org and click the “donate now button,” or mail gifts to Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley, P.O. Box 298, Youngstown, Ohio 44501.
