Jan 2, 2021 ORCHID: To the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County for hiring a community support specialist who will help patrons with needs in social service and mental health areas. Jim Young will help people with needs greater than library services; he will link patrons to help with homelessness, addiction, depression and more, according to library Executive Director Aimee Fifarek. Patrons who would like to talk with Young can contact the library at 330-744-8636 or talk with a librarian, who will connect them. ORCHID: To the American Red Cross of Greater Akron and the Mahoning Valley, which includes the former local Lake to River Chapter in Liberty, for finding a centralized location to best serve residents in its six-county region. The Red Cross is moving its office from Belmont Avenue in Liberty to Canfield Niles Road in Austintown on Monday. There will be no disruption in services. Last year, the local Red Cross that served Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana counties was renamed and expanded to include Portage, Medina and Summit counties. The move to Austintown matches the mission of the realignment — to better serve the Red Cross’ mission and local communities.
