MYCAP buys van

YOUNGSTOWN

After two years of dreaming and fundraising, Mahoning-Youngstown Community Action Partnership has purchased a 20-seat van to be used primarily for senior programing. A ceremony is planned for 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at the MYCAP office, 1325 Fifth Ave. The Rev. Kenneth L. Simon, a board member, will officiate.

The purchase was made possible through a variety of funding, including miscellaneous donations from MYCAP employees, fundraising events and grants from Youngstown Foundation, $10,000; Area Agency on Aging, $5,000; Aimee & Lulu Seidel Foundation Donation, $3,500; Ohio Baptist Convention, $1,000; and Walmart, $1,000.

MYCAP senior programs consist of the Seniors Out For Action group, case-management activities, and also onsite activities at 17 locations throughout the Mahoning Valley.
