EASTERN REGIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION
Eastern Regional Kidney Foundation, ERKF, Youngstown
- The Eastern Regional Kidney Foundation (ERKF) began helping Ohio’s Mahoning, Trumbull & Columbiana counties in 1979.
- Unlike many other charitable organizations, the ERKF is a totally ‘independent label’, deriving no support or funding from any other source besides the generous contributions of area supporters.
- No major ‘producers’ or ‘agents’ (like the NKF – National Kidney Foundation, or government agencies) means ALL monies donated stay within the tri-county area.
- The board members have various backgrounds, providing a gifted ‘mix’ of support to the organization.
- Members of the board are all volunteers supporting the ‘band’ free of charge.
