YOUNGSTOWN A trip to a well-known city park on a winter day proved to be two firsts for Leonard Vanderhoff and his family.
“This will help us put Christmas presents under the tree, so it’s truly a blessing,” said Vanderhoff, who, along with his family, moved within the last year to the city from New Orleans.
Vanderhoff, who is a car detailer, was referring to having received his first two $25 Walmart gift cards Friday while enjoying a winter day with the family at Crandall Park on the North Side. The free cards, which they intend to use for Christmas shopping, were courtesy of the Youngstown Police Department’s Community Police Unit.
