| GIVING AND VOLUNTEERISM | | |
Members, bring a guest and help us to help others. Each year the Newport News Family YMCA collects non-perishable foods such as assorted canned vegetables, rice, instant potatoes, stuffing, macaroni & cheese, soups, and canned meats. Please plan to bring a guest from November 4th - 8th. The guest and member must bring a canned good. Members may pick up a guest pass at the Welcome Desk.
As part of the Y's mission and community outreach, we collaborate with other organizations to distribute the food to those in need throughout the community.
After the food drive, Family Volunteer Day will be organized. This is when families, members and volunteers come together to decorate and pack boxes of food for area families in need. We will use the collected food on Family Volunteer Day. This year Family Volunteer Day is Friday, November 22 from 6-8pm.
Light snacks and beverages will be provided for volunteers.
For more information, please contact Theresa Beal at 757.245.0047, ext. 213 or e-mail her.
