Five Rotary Clubs (Chesapeake, Hampton Roads, Norfolk, Norfolk Sunrise, and Town Center banded together for a district grant to benefit the William A. Hunton YMCA with a new kitchen including a six burner stove with two ovens and a grill, a walk-in cooler and freezer, a deep fryer, and an ice machine. The William A Hunton YMCA for decades has worked to serve some of Norfolk’s population most in need of help: day care for over a hundred children, after school care, two meals a day for scores of children in the summer, food for kids who just drop by hungry, counseling and help for an entire community. They feed 150 children two times a day in their day care program. In the summer, the number jumps to 300 children fed. Currently due to lack of storage facilities, they are having to shop for food daily. This problem will be solved with the District Grant. Pictured above are members from the Hunton YMCA and the Rotary Club of Norfolk: Indeà Carver, Paula Jennings (head of child care), Chef Paul Jennings, Brenda Gibbs, (CEO), Terrance Afer Anderson (board member), Norfolk Rotary president Lorna Cochrane, CeCe Tucker (board chair and Rotarian), and Bill Moore (Norfolk Rotarian who spearheaded the effort).
