Nourishing Our Community

YMCA Food Programs

One in four children in the U.S. don’t know where their next meal is coming from.
 
At the Y, we know that children who receive daily nutrition are set up to succeed. That’s why we’re helping kids reach their full potential by providing free access to healthy snacks and meals when school’s out for summer and for year-round after-school programs. 
 
If you or your child(ren) participate in the food program, then please take a few minutes to take a Food Program Survey to allow us to better serve you and our community. Click the link to fill out the survey: https://forms.office.com/r/aKLW1krqTs
 
 
Are you passionate about helping others? Be an important part of our movement! We're now hiring for a Food Program Coordinator VISTA to help operate our food programs!
