The YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth is changing pickup times and locations for free grab & go meals.
To support city requests to limit food distribution to 3 days a week or less and to comply with stay at home orders, the Y is changing food pickup days to Mondays and Wednesdays between 4pm and 6pm.
The impact of school closures due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is being felt across the state. Last week, the Y served up more than 3,000 meals to families with children 18 years or younger in Tarrant, Hood and Johnson Counties.
“By providing these meals to children who need them most, Fort Worth area Y’s are truly fulfilling their mission of healthy living, social responsibility, and youth development,” said Julie Wilson, with YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth.
While the number of food pickup days have changed, officials say families will still receive up to 5 days of food. Meals come complete with protein, fruit or vegetable, snacks and more.
Families stopping by to get food on Monday will be able to pick up meals for 2 days (Mon-Tue). Those picking up on Wednesdays will be able to pick up meals for 3 days (Wed – Fri).
