The YMCA has provided more than 170,000 meals to local children via community meal sites during the coronavirus pandemic. Cigna is donating $20,000 to help the YMCA and its partners with the program.

The organization will use the grant to cover costs of the program including costs of meals, transporting meals, staffing and personal protective equipment (PPE).

The YMCA partners with Shelby County Schools, the City of Memphis, Shelby County and the Mid-South Food Bank for the emergency meal program.
