The Switch Yard has been an important cornerstone for youth work in Bancroft for over 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>When COVID-19 closed the doors for The Switch Yard, Kelsey and the volunteers knew that some of the youth they saw on a regular basis would not have access to meals for their families. So, they pivoted \u2013 Kelsey and the team created a \u201cMeals Program\u201d. Using grocery cards donated by local churches, the team purchases ingredients, and meals are prepared in a local certified kitchen. They then deliver them weekly to the families that they know through the Drop-in program.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGod continues to blow us away with His provision for this program, and it has been such a blessing to these families. We are so grateful for everyone who has played a part, and helped make this possible!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Kelsey Watts<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":771,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-covid-19"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
