Another week and thousands of summer meals reaching thousands of East Tennessee kids!

In Week 5 of our YMCA Summer Food Program, we served 27,865 meals across our 10 drive-through grab-and-go sites, 6 YMCA Summer Day Camp locations, and community lunches at the Pilot Y Outdoor Pool.

That brings our summer total to an incredible 138,518 meals... and counting!

Whether it's a camper enjoying lunch with friends or a parent picking up a week's worth of meals at one of our grab-and-go sites, every meal makes a real difference.

Thank you for helping us nourish children, strengthen families, and build a healthier community, one meal at at time!

Hundreds of YMCA Summer Day Camp Kids got to experience a taste of 90s summer on this week's field trip to Camp Ba Yo Ca. We love seeing kids outside, playing in the creek, catching crawdads, and building memories that will last a lifetime!

Week 4 of our Summer Food Program was our biggest yet: 30,386 meals served in just one week across 10 drive-through grab-n-go sites, 6 YMCA summer day camps, and community lunches at our Pilot Y Outdoor Pool.

And with that, we’ve officially surpassed a major milestone: over 100,000 meals served this summer, now totaling 110,653 meals and counting!

Each meal provides a little bit of relief for a parent: a lunch packed for a camper, a convenient stop at a grab-n-go site to pick up what their kids will need for 14 meals of the week ahead.

We’re honored to do this work across East Tennessee, and it only happens because of the support around us.

Thanks for helping us fuel a stronger community, one meal at a time.

To all the dads and father figures out there...

Whether you’re a yogi dad or a weight-lifting dad, a cheer-from-the-sidelines dad or a coach-every-team dad, a stay-at-home dad or a work-hard-to-provide dad… we see you.

To all our Y dads who show up in all different ways, thank you for showing your kids what strong, caring, and committed dads look like.

At the Y, we’re here to help you be your best, for yourself, your family, and your community.

Happy Father’s Day from your Y!

92 years young and proving that it's never too late for new beginnings. ❤️

Recently, many of our Pilot Family YMCA friends gathered to celebrate longtime Y member Lee and his longtime partner following their recent wedding. The room was filled with laughter, stories, cake, and plenty of well wishes as our members came together to celebrate this special milestone.

Moments like these are a reminder that the YMCA of East Tennessee is about so much more than fitness. It's about friendships, relationships, and a community that shows up for one another through every stage of life!

Congratulations, Lee! Thank you for reminding us all that love, connection, and community have no age limit.

Making sure kids are fed, all summer long!

In Week 3 of our Summer Food Program, the Y served 28,151 meals across 10 drive-through grab-n-go sites, 6 YMCA summer day camps, and community lunches at our Pilot Y Outdoor Pool.

That brings our summer total to 80,267 meals and counting!

Every meal served is more than just a number. It’s one less worry for a parent, one more full belly, and one more kid ready to learn, play, and thrive.

We’re proud to stand in the gap for families across East Tennessee, and we can’t do it without you!
