The East Cobb Rotary and The YMCAs of East Cobb both stand out as leaders in the hunger relief efforts of our community. The Cobb YMCA facilities have always been about growing a stronger community through feeding programs year round, but with the help of the prompt, proactive East Cobb Rotary’s partnership, The Y began distributing much-needed meals to food-insecure households from school age children to seniors. Since the beginning of the health crisis, the East Cobb Ys have been responding in new and unique ways because of the unwavering support of the East Cobb Rotary.
This impactful donation of $15,000 has been vital to sustaining The Ys operations to deliver hunger relief programs serving over 1150 families each week. Before the official start of the school’s out summer break, The East Cobb Ys had already served more meals than we served all of last year. Unprecedented needs in our community, were met with unprecedented generosity from the East Cobb Rotary members. The ability to expand our already robust summer feeding program throughout Cobb County at this urgent time allows us to provide emergency relief, and the ability to provide ongoing help through one of the busiest time – the summer months.
