Marcita, a member of the William-Emslie Family YMCA, heard about the Y’s meal distribution program and sprung into action to help her neighbors. “The kids in my neighborhood were out of school due to the pandemic and parents needed to cook more because everyone was home,” she says. “I volunteered to pick up lunches from the YMCA to deliver to the children.”
Marcita was able to deliver healthy meals to five different families in her neighborhood. “They were so grateful, and so was I,” she says. “I was able to pick up breakfast and lunch for my neighborhood kids. Thank you, YMCA.”
