need to feed

Y&E has partnered with community organizations and agencies to provide meals to children, adults, and entire families during these heightened times of uncertainty. The system we’ve put in place thrives on the existing works of food providers, while also being an additional resource the community can lean on for food. Please contact us if you have any questions.
