YMCA of Central Virginia Offers Summer Food Program to Help Kids Get Their ‘Fill of Food and Fun’ The YMCA of Central Virginia joins national anti-hunger effort to serve 4 million meals to kids, in partnership with the Walmart Foundation. To ensure that fewer kids and teens go hungry this summer, the YMCA OF Central Virginia is offering a free Summer Food Program, thanks to a $55,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation. Combining food and fun, the program will provide nutritious meals and snacks, plus activities to keep kids’ minds and bodies active. The program runs FROM NOW UNTIL August 16, 2013 and is open to kids aged 18 and under. The YMCA of Central Virginia’s Summer Food Program is part of a national partnership between YMCA of the USA and the Walmart Foundation to address child hunger in communities. While more than 30 million children in low-income communities receive free or reduced-cost meals during the school year, only 2.3 million of these same kids have access to free meals when school is out. The YMCA of Central Virginia will serve over 300 children in the Amherst, Lynchburg and Nelson community. At more than 900 summer food program sites nationwide, the Y will strive to serve 4 million healthy meals and snacks to 100,000 kids this summer.
