Taking a page from its popular summer meals program, the Door County YMCA will be distributing lunches to students in the area for the month of October. Everyone is eligible, and it is not restricted to just the county, but distributions will only happen at the Sturgeon Bay and Fish Creek locations. That compares to as many as nine sites during the summer, including the City of Algoma. Food will be available all five weekends in October, and there is not a limit to how many times a child can utilize the service. Annual Campaign Director Alyssa Dantoin says the program is available to a select number of adults as well.
Registration occurs at the Door County YMCA’s webpage or by phone each week until noon Wednesday. The meals can be picked up that Friday and feature similar offerings to what is available over the summer. Two lunches and two snacks consist of wraps, sandwiches, subs, even tacos. The program was made possible with a $10,000 grant from the Y’s national organization.
