In order to take meals into neighborhoods, the Y and community partners renovated a 72-passenger bus into a mobile meals site! The Food + Fun bus took to the streets & served 10,000 free meals through the Y s Meals for Kids program in three months! The Y does receive grants to help, but there is typically a $3.00 per meal gap. We are partnering with Premium Coffee Shop to host a coffee bar to help fill the gap! We will have several delicious coffees like: Apple Pecan Crumb Cake, Breakfast with Elvis, Raspberry Almond Shortcake, and Mexican Oaxaca available to enjoy on the spot. And bags of coffee for sale too! Juice boxes will be available for younger members. Can t make the event, but interested in purchasing a bag of delicious coffee to help feed a child? Order forms are available at the Community Bulletin Boards located near both Y entrances.
