PLATE IT FORWARD

Presented by: Scenic Community Credit Union

Join us for a dinner event celebrating the annual impact of the J.A. Henry Community YMCA.

In 2025, the J.A. Henry Community YMCA served over 400,000 free meals to local kids in need; this summer, through our Free Summer Food Program, our Y already provided 273,239 meals.

The J.A. Henry YMCA offers free meals to kids through programs such as Summer Food and Afterschool, providing thousands of meals daily, and their Early Childhood Nutrition program supplies fresh meals to both of the Y’s preschool sites in Chattanooga.
