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.

Hard to summarize day 1 of summer food delivery

Clay County North summary day 1 for Summer Program 2019:

It is difficult to summarize. We were blessed by returning volunteers and new volunteers today. As always, our kids, community and volunteers are a blessing.

We were a bit of organized chaos today. Thank you to our volunteers and families for your patience. We missed a couple of families today, due to address typos. We almost missed a couple of families because they had moved, but they found us. We added over 70 kiddos for tomorrow. We will be over 650 kiddos tomorrow for Clay County.

Some of our delivery drivers returned to First Baptist Church and went out again twice. One driver went out three times. Two non-delivery volunteers went out twice. Our volunteers are beyond kind and gracious. It wasn’t pretty but we got the job done and will do even better tomorrow.

We make this up as we go along and you help us figure it out.

And one family contact FB and thanked us for lunches today and said, “We are doing ok now. Would we please give the lunches in the future to someone who needs the food more than we do?”
