CEMETERY CLEANUP: Tod Homestead Cemetery’s annual cleanup will be March 15. All decorations on the graves, including solar lights and artificial in cemetery vases, will be removed at this time. Anyone wishing to recover their decorations must do so before that date. The cemetery is located at 2200 Belmont Ave., Youngstown.

EASTER BASKETS: Emmanuel Community Care Center will distribute Easter baskets to children ages 2 to 11 whose families are registered at the center. Those wishing to receive an Easter basket can call the center through March 14. Due to the recent COVID-19 restrictions, families will be called when their baskets are ready to be picked up.

Any individual or organization who wishes to donate an Easter basket, candy or small toys for the baskets can call 330-545-4301.

Completed Easter baskets and items for the baskets are to be delivered to the center by March 19.

HELPING SECOND HARVEST: Giant Eagle store locations are accepting donations for Second Harvest Food Bank’s Harvest for Hunger campaign through April 3. Customers can help provide food to those in need by donations of $1, $5 or $10 at Giant Eagle stores in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties. The donation will be added to the grocery bill. In 2020, Giant Eagle stores raised $111,000 through Check Out Hunger, which was able to provide the food center 66,069 meals.

Harvest for Hunger is one of the largest annual countywide food and funds drive to take place from February to April.
