WEEKLY COMMUNITY MEAL
YWCA-GCR's Community Meal is served every Tuesday evening from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM. YWCA-GCR residents as well as members of the community are welcome to join us each week for a free nutrition cooked meal. Meals are prepared by a variety of volunteers including but not limited to YWCA-GCR staff, residents, community members and students. Residents are encouraged to participate in preparation of the meals and will be assisted by staff in menu planning, shopping and time management. We serve between 75 - 125 people per week. YWCA-GCR also partners with community organizations to set up booths at weekly Community Meal to advertise, promote, and engage guests in services.
Residents and community members can call YWCA-GCR at (518) 274-7100 to find out Tuesday’s menu.
