Community Food Program
Community Food Program
Hunger is a multifaceted crisis affecting not only America but also various regions worldwide. Its profound impact is felt right here in Meadville and its surrounding communities. Through the help of our food programs, volunteers & staff, and donors we are able to create the change needed to fight hunger. The YMCA Staff is committed to addressing food access and providing essential support to those in need. These programs are 90% funded through donations and grants.
