Two members of Youngstown City Council worked with a local business and community organization to offer free ham dinners for the holiday season on Tuesday.

Sixth Ward Councilwoman Anita Davis and Fifth Ward Councilwoman Lauren McNally announced that 140 dinners are being assembled, including ham, apple pie, cans of corn and beans, and a box of hot chocolate.

The dinners will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at Glenwood Park between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Tuesday, December 20, 2022.

In addition, hot dogs and drinks will be available during the giveaway, courtesy of Glenwood Ground coffee shop.

"With the increased cost of groceries and the shortages being reported at food pantries across the country, we wanted to try and ease the burden for our residents," McNally told 21 News.

The council members worked with the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation and Glenwood Grounds to make the giveaway possible.

"The holidays are already such a financially difficult time for so many people; hopefully, this gesture of support will allow them to enjoy a family meal," said Councilwoman Davis.

Glenwood Park is at the corner of Glenwood and Sherwood Avenues on the city's South Side.
