A huge thank you to The Morningside Rotary Club for their generous donation of $2,000 worth of healthy food and art therapy supplies to our YMCA’s Young Parent Program.
“The teenage parents we serve are facing housing, mental health, life management and educational barriers,” says Debbie Banerjee, Manager of the Y’s Child Care Programs. “We can’t thank the Morningside Rotary Club enough for their ongoing generosity – they just restocked our food pantry and kitchen supplies with the support of FreshCo, Bread Co. and London Drugs, plus purchased art materials from Staples. These donations will not only ensure our young parents and their babies have access to daily nutritious meals and snacks, but also the supplies to start an Art Therapy program to help reduce anxiety, increase self-esteem and achieve healing.”
