Knightdale Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Jan. 29.
According to Feeding America, one in seven adults in North Carolina struggles with hunger. One in five children doesn't know where they will get their next meal. The YMCA of the Triangle is committed to changing those odds.
The Y has provided more than one million meals since September 2020. Select YMCA facilities serve as regional food hubs for meal distribution for families in Wake County. Through a partnership with Wake County, the Y will provide one to two weeks' worth of shelf-stable and fresh food through December 2021.
Families can visit any of their locations and receive food at no cost.
Volunteers are needed at each of their hub locations. Children 12 and younger may participate when accompanied by an adult volunteer.
