MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The City of Memphis and the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South will once again be joining together to provide meals to children in Memphis. This summer, the YMCA will serve breakfast and lunch options at select Community Center locations and several YMCA locations beginning June 26, 2021.
Previously, the two organizations worked together to serve afternoon snack and supper meals at City of Memphis Community Centers during the school year, totaling over 3 million meals and snacks served since the partnership alongside Shelby County Schools began.
“The goal is to make sure that kids in our community can have access to healthy meals when they’re not in school,” said Brian McLaughlin, COO for the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South. “We know that summer can be a hard time for families because kids are no longer guaranteed a meal during the school day, however, we are hopeful with this partnership that we will be able to reach every student who needs a meal.”
In partnership with Shelby County Schools, the City of Memphis, and the YMCA, the three organizations together are able to provide 4 meals a day for students, which include breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and supper.
Parents and Guardians may pick up the 7-Day Breakfast/Lunch Meal Packs distributed by the YMCA weekly on Saturday mornings between the hours of 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM beginning June 26, 2021 and continuing through September 25, 2021. Meal Packs will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
