Through our volunteer and mentor programs, service projects, advocacy, and other community programs, the Anaheim Family YMCA unites people around the importance of giving back.

VOLUNTEERISM & GIVING

The generosity of others is at the core of our existence and is the reason we are able to give back to the communities we serve. We invite you to get involved in any way you wish. Become a coach or mentor. Pledge a gift or corporate sponsorship. Volunteer for a day or lead a service project. There are many ways to give back.

NOURISH FOOD PROGRAM

OVER 6.5 Million HEALTHY MEALS SERVED TO ANAHEIM YOUTH SINCE 2015

NOURISH FOOD PROGRAM

Nourish food program was created to fill the late afternoon hunger gap by providing healthy meals for students in the Anaheim Achieves after school program. Data revealed that 85% of the students in the Anaheim Elementary School District are provided with a free or reduced-price lunch, and 7% self-report insufficient food at home to meet their basic needs. 

Nourish Food Program aims to provide children with nutrition so they can be healthy, succeed in school and are not at risk of going hungry. 

Thanks to our partnership with the Anaheim Elementary School District and Anaheim Union High School District, we are ensuring that over 3,000 children in our after-school programs have access to healthy meals during out-of-school time, when they need them most. 

As part of our focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y is committed to keeping children nourished and teaching them healthy habits all year long. 

FOOD PROGRAM FACTS

  • Over 6,500 meals are served daily  
  • All meals are healthy. Each meal serves low-fat milk, two servings of fruits and vegetables, whole grains or wheat, and protein 
  • Meals are served between 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. to program participants 

THE NEED

More than 16 million children and teens under 18 live with food insecurity, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). And when the school day ends, many of these youth are at risk of going hungry.
