Food will be available at the various sites across Jamestown and surrounding communities Mondays through Fridays as of Monday, July 1.
Parents/Guardians and/or children can arrive to pick up a fully prepared, balanced meal. Food sites are available thanks to the YMCA’s partnership with the City of Jamestown, Frewsburg Parks and Recreation, Jamestown Public Schools, Prendergast Library, Falconer Central School and Hazeltine Library.
