With schools closed, many families are struggling to provide food for their kids.

About 85% of children in the Trenton area depend on schools for free or reduced lunches. With schools closed, many families are struggling to fill that gap and their children’s bellies. The Capital Area YMCA has stepped in to meet the needs of the community, feeding kids every day at 14 locations throughout the region and providing 2,100 meals a day.
