Catholic Diocese of Youngstown collecting donations to help families in need with winter utilities
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The Catholic Diocese of Youngstown is asking church members to help support families in need during the winter months.

Since the program began in 2008, more than $469,000 has been raised to help more than 60,000 people in the area.
