Poland girl holds backyard carnival for the Rescue Mission

Updated:

POLAND, Ohio- A seven-year-old girl from Poland is doing her part to help the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley.

Olivia Helmick held a carnival in her backyard. The carnival included a fishing game, kissing booth, and darts. It even had a pie in the face game.

Olivia and her grandmother thought of the idea after visiting the Rescue Mission.

"I want to help the Rescue Mission because they don't have any food [and] no toys," Olivia said.

The clown was also popular with kids at the backyard carnival.

The money raised will go to the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley Summer Relief Fund.

The agency is facing a $100,000 deficit by next month due to an increase in people who need versus a decrease in giving.
