Brian McLaughlin CEO of YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South explains the crucial need they are meeting with their summer meal program for kids. Did you know that 1 in 5 Tennessee children (19.8%) are food insecure, 62% of families struggle to provide enough nutritious food in summer when school meals stop, and summer is the hungriest time of year for many kids. Addressing child hunger in West Tennessee is one of YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South top priorities.
