PUTNAM — The Hale YMCA Youth & Family Center has partnered with the Project Pin, TEEG and Interfaith Human Services of Putnam to host a food drive from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 24 at the YMCA at 9 Technology Park Drive.
Bring non-perishable food items. Critical food items needed include cereal, peanut butter, jelly, macaroni and cheese, bread, chicken noodle soup, baked beans and rice.
Amanda Kelly, the executive director of the Hale YMCA, said: “While we have always hosted food drives, we recognize that during these difficult times there is an increased strain on both the health of the community and on local families. We have heard that there is critical local shortage of food, and the Y is thrilled to be able to continue support the community, even when our facility is not open to the public.” The YMCA has procedures in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of participants, including social distancing and cleaning practices for all donated items.
