Bishop elected

YOUNGSTOWN

Bishop Murry will serve for one year as chairman-elect before beginning a three-year term.

Group to fill, deliver food bags for seniors

LIBERTY

The Youngstown-Warren Realtist Association, a local chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, will fill food bags for seniors in Trumbull and Mahoning counties at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Liberty room of the Hampton Inn, 4400 Belmont Ave., and deliveries will follow.

The association’s goal is to feed about 200 area seniors who live in senior-citizen housing.

The bags will benefit seniors on a fixed income who lack transportation or have physical limitations that make them unable to attend other food giveaways in the area.

The bags will include a whole chicken, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, string beans and stuffing.

For information, contact Jerome Williams at 330-503-8844.
