Nonprofit Rock4Reason is thinking of local cancer patients during the pandemic and decided to support them by donating 50 stress-relief bags to the Hope Center for Cancer Care.
“People are already stressed out, and for those folks who are going through treatment, it is probably even more stressful for them,” Rock4Reason co-founder Frank Lindsay said.

Hospitals included Mercy Health-St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, Mercy Health-St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital, and Trumbull Memorial Hospital.
