YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Premier Bank on Wednesday presented a $25,000 check to the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation.
The YNDC will use the funds for its Essential Home Repair program.
“Through the Essential Home Repair program, YNDC provides low-income Mahoning County homeowners with necessary home repairs at no cost, which can only be sustained through the generous support of our community partners like Premier Bank,” said Tiffany Sokol, YNDC housing director.
Through the program, which “is a critical community service and in high demand,” eligible repairs include “replacement of leaking roofs, repair and replacement of nonfunctional furnaces and hot water tanks and repair of plumbing leaks,” Sokol said.
“We are proud to support the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation as they work to improve the quality of life in Youngstown by building and encouraging investment in neighborhoods of choice for all,” said Trish Gelsomino, foundation giving coordinator at Premier Bank. “Together we can spread kindness and make the Mahoning Valley stronger.”
