Starbucks Austintown partnering with United Way to raise funds for Realty Building explosion victims
Starbucks in Austintown is helping victims of the Realty Building explosion in downtown Youngstown.
The store announced through Facebook that they have partnered with the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley to collect funds and non-perishable items for those displaced because of the explosion.
All stores will be collecting district-wide, but the Austintown location on Route 46 and 80 will be the primary drop-off location.
Monetary donations can be made through a QR code on a United Way flyer that will be posted at local stores, and every dollar donated will go directly to those affected.
Items in need include:
• Non-perishable food items
• Hygiene items
• Cleaning supplies
Clothing items are also accepted.
There will also be an in-store collection event at the Austintown Starbucks with the United Way on Monday, June 17th from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.
