BACK TO SCHOOL!
After School Program and Supply Drive
The 2025-2026 school year is just around the corner, and the Y is here to help! The Y now serves 16 elementary and middle schools with our affordable After School Program. Registration opens July 22!
To ensure students have the tools they need to succeed and feel confident, the Y is hosting a Back-to-School Supply Drive at the Saleeby Family YMCA July 28-August 7 and at the Fayetteville YMCA August 1-14. Download the Saleeby flier and the Fayetteville flier to see what supplies are needed.
Free Weekly Meal Boxes for Kids & Teens This Summer
The Y launched its 2025 Summer Food Service Program this month, providing free, nutritious meal boxes for children and teens 18 and under in Harnett County. Families can pick up boxes via drive-thru at Word Education Church in Lillington every Thursday from 4-6 pm through August 7. (Boxes are available on a first-come, first-seved basis.)
Each box contains seven day's worth of breakfasts and lunches and adheres to USDA guidelines. Boxes include the five components of a balanced meal, including fruit, vegetables, whole grains, meat/meat alternative and milk.
