We’ve kicked off our Free Summer Food Program this week to keep kids in our community healthy and strong all summer long.

We prepare thousands of meals daily to be distributed across 80 sites.📍

Meals are available to children under 18 years old on a first-come, first-served basis in Bradley, Hamilton, Polk, Rhea and Sequatchie counties in Tennessee, and Walker and Catoosa counties in North Georgia.

At the Y, we believe every child deserves a summer filled with nourishment, support and opportunity. 💛🍽

Here’s to a community that keeps showing up, staying active and having fun together. 🙌
