COMMUNITY: Local YMCAs make over 1,500 meals a day for community members

YMCA of Silicon Valley is providing necessary support services to vulnerable community members during the COVID pandemic. Over the last few weeks, the YMCA has adapted their services to best support and match the needs of the community at large.

“As soon as the shelter in place started, we reached out to school districts to see how we could support them,” says Associate Exec. Director for Youth Development, Angela Rodriguez.

Shortly after school closures, YMCA staff members pooled their resources and evaluated how they could best meet the needs of their community. Staff members were dispersed between 18 Bay Area school sites.
