Building on our existing programs, YMCA Southcoast has partnered with The Greater Boston Food Bank to launch the Full Plate Project. The Full Plate Project aims to address the growing lack of access to healthy, affordable food during economic struggles. The project will distribute 1 million pounds of food in 2021 to our member and neighbors.
Y COMMUNITY MARKET All Southcoast residents are welcome to take advantage of this free drive-through market. Photo ID is not required. No pre-registration required - first come, first served. Please practice COVID safety protocol and wear a mask! Each household will receive pre-packaged bags of groceries that include a variety of nonperishable items, as well as fresh produce and meats when available. Items vary, based on availability. The Full Plate Project relies solely on volunteers for help with the bagging and distribution. If you would like to become a volunteer contact Lisa Rahn at fullplateproject@ymcasc.org with any questions.
