SATUR-DAY OF CARING<br />
Food insecurity was the main issue we all faced when COVID-19 hit in 2020.<br />
Our Satur-Day of Caring started with an idea that took less than a week to plan and<br />
execute. Over the next 365 days it drastically grew as more and more seniors,<br />
shut-ins, and families were identified by our non-profit and school partners. From 100<br />
households that first week, to 400 a year later, Satur-Day of Caring became a vital part<br />
of our COVID-19 Recovery.<br />
As we served more people, more volunteers showed up every third Saturday to help.<br />
High school athletes, honor students, bankers, union members, entire families, flag<br />
football teams, nurses, doctors, coaches, college athletes, college students,<br />
the list goes on. People from all walks of life, of all ages worked side-by-side to<br />
unload and pack the food bags.<br />
100 drivers and their helpers spreading out over 50 routes did more than just drop off<br />
food. They formed special bonds - delivering special treats, birthday wishes, holiday<br />
presents and, more importantly, a smile and conversation.<br />
Our donors not only stepped up financially, but they also got creative - they purchased<br />
a prize steer from the Canfield Fair and donated that beef, they sent first aid kits,<br />
socks, and homemade cards to those in need.<br />
<strong>Annual</strong>ly, we are helping more than 8,000 people through this initiative.<br />

SATUR-DAY OF CARING CHRISTMAS FOOD GIVEAWAY<br />
The United Way of Youngstown and the<br />
Mahoning Valley wanted to make sure all<br />
children, families and seniors were taken<br />
care of for the Holiday Season. Through our<br />
partnership with Southwoods Health and<br />
Chris and Ed Muransky, we hosted the second<br />
annual Satur-Day of Caring Christmas Food<br />
Giveaway. We distributed 600 hams and<br />
holiday food boxes filled with fresh foods<br />
and non-perishable items through a drive-thru<br />
food giveaway.<br />
In addition to the drive-thru food giveaway, we<br />
also packed and delivered food and<br />
essentials to our 400 Satur-Day of Caring<br />
families and shut-ins across the Mahoning<br />
Valley. Through our Satur-Day of Caring<br />
Christmas Food Giveaway, we served over<br />
6,000 people food and essentials for the<br />
holidays.
