Entry and parking is available at Gate 5. Temporary restrooms have been set up and visitors are asked to take all trash with them due to the limited number of seasonal staff.

United Way of Youngstown

STRUTHERS, Ohio – United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley and Belleria Pizza in Struthers are donating food to the fire departments of Youngstown and Struthers.

The food will be delivered starting at 4 p.m. and will be given to all seven Youngstown fire stations and both in Struthers.

“We have been working closely with YFD in Youngstown these past few weeks getting food to those in need, so of course, we said we’d assist Belleria with this project. We want to thank all first responders during this time,” says United Way President Bob Hannon.
