Hermitage event to help warm hearts, hands, and heads

After the winter holiday season, the city of Hermitage will still feel in a festive mood thanks to a frosty fundraiser.

The team at Trails End Conservancy, Inc. will be offering a warm welcome to those who participate in its Winter Warm Up and Stuff the Bus activities, both of which will be held at 2535 North Hermitage Road. The group has partnered with the Youngstown Blue Coats, and area veterans will be the guests of honor for the occasion.

The vets and the general public are invited to stop by the activity in person, and the first 50 to arrive will be treated to a free boxed lunch, which will be supplied courtesy of The Greenville Elks Lodge, #145. A bus will be parked on site, and a challenge has been issued to the community to see if they can stuff it full of boots, coats, hats, gloves, and other articles of winter clothing. These will be collected by Youngstown Blue Coats for distribution to those in need.

Grassroots level community events may find the services of a poster printing company to be helpful in promoting their function to the public. This often helps to ensure an activity will be a success.

The Winter Warm Up and Stuff the Bus is set to spirits on Saturday, January 14. It will begin at 12:00 pm.
