"For over 130 years, the YMCA has served the ever-changing needs of our local community. Today is no different as we continue to find ways to support Fort Worth, Benbrook and surrounding counties by partnering with local organizations to provide grab-and-go meals at our branches," said Tony Shuman, President and CEO of YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth.
The meals come complete with protein, fruit or vegetable, snacks and more.
