YMCA Clay County Youth Food Delivery Program

We are the Clay County Youth Food Delivery Program. This is our picture and logo. This is a picture of the thank you card we received from a child in 2017 after we sent food home on the weekend for the child. No child should "werry" about their next meal. We are a community working together to do all we can to ensure kids don't "werry" on school breaks We deliver food to the children in Clay County for weekends, daily during summer breaks and we deliver 2 weeks of shelf-stable food for Christmas Delivery thanks to Duke Energy and our community to helps fill the need left for volunteers and financial donations. We are a community working together and doing the impossible.

Together

We added Staunton Elementary School and Head Start to the School Program in February 2020. We have always served them during the Summer Program and for Christmas Delivery, but until this week they had been served during the School Program by another ministry. Thank you to the other ministry that served these kiddos until they were no longer able to. It takes a community working together.

So, as we added some food totes, ordered some additional food, and packed more bags of food, we worried just a bit about getting the food to them each week.

In no time, we heard from Sandi Trousdale and Kay Summers.They said they will see the food gets picked up each week and delivered to Staunton.

Mercedes Hall delivers the food to North Clay. She offered to deliver Head Start also and Shanna Niece Cunningham offered to help deliver Head Start if needed.

Why do we ever worry about the unknown and getting the kids fed?

Thank you to an amazing community! Everyone does and gives what they can and it always works out. Another “challenge” solved due to those who step up when needed!

Someone is in charge and it isn’t us!
