Gaston County YMCA

Summer should be a season full of fun, connection, and play - but for many kids, it can also mean losing access to regular meals. That’s where you can make a difference! Join us at Ransom Hunter Park for a rewarding and impactful volunteer opportunity! Through the Gaston County Family YMCA’s Fuel the Future: Summer Meals Program, in partnership with Gaston County School Nutrition, we’re bringing meals, enrichment, and joy directly to children in our community—all in one place. Volunteers help serve nutritious meals to kids ages 18 and under while also leading games, activities, and creative play that make summer feel like summer again. Whether you can give just one hour a week or up to five, this flexible opportunity is perfect for individuals or families looking to get involved. Be part of something special! You’ll help create a safe, welcoming space where kids can connect, laugh, and thrive.
