Channel 11, partners donate to East Palestine community

Channel 11 was in East Palestine, Ohio, Friday to make a donation to help the community following the train derailment there in February.

WPXI General Manager Kevin Hayes presented a check for $5,000 to East Palestine’s Social Concern on behalf of 11 Cares and our partners 84 Lumber, Clearview Federal Credit Union, Duquesne Light Company and Highmark Wholecare.

The money will go toward cleaning products and groceries.
