Volunteers will be setting up the biggest charity effort of the year at the YMCA of Metro Dallas.
The initiative, which provides essential items like food, clothing, and toiletries, has become the YMCA’s most significant charitable effort of the year and aims to support 1,000 families in need. If the YMCA meets its goal this year, it will set a new record for the event.According to Feeding Texas, 1 in 6 households in the state faces food insecurity. This challenge impacts children, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and working families across every Texas county.
The YMCA is also calling for volunteers to assist with sorting donations on Friday and then delivering the goods on Saturday.
