Nourish Your Neighbors Food Drive

YMCA Holds Food Drive -1000 piece goal

The Indian Valley Family YMCA is holding a “NOURISH YOUR NEIGHBORS” FOOD DRIVE from Monday, August 15– Sunday, August 21. The YMCA is collecting non-perishable food items because area food pantries have a critical need. The Tri Town Food Pantry is currently serving 1,600 families.

The YMCA staff and board of managers have a goal to collect at least 1000 pieces during the weeklong drive. Residents of area communities may drop off their non-perishable food items at two locations:

Indian Valley Family YMCA, 11 Pinney Street, Ellington

Hours: Mon-Fri 5am-9pm, Sat., 7am-5pm & Sun., 9am-4pm

or

Indian Valley Family YMCA Child Care Center

375 Hartford Tpke, Vernon

Hours: Mon-Fri 10am-5pm!

The Indian Valley Family YMCA serves children, adults and families in the towns of East Windsor, Ellington, Enfield, Rockville, Somers, South Windsor, Tolland, and Vernon with a full membership facility in Ellington, a childcare center in Vernon and a childcare center in Rockville.
