Summer Eats is a state-wide program that ensures that youth ages 18 and under have nutritious food to eat during the summer. From June 29- August 21, 2026, the MetroWest YMCA will join partners at sites across the area to provide food and enrichment activities.
In the case of inclement weather, the YMCA will still offer "grab-and-go" food through its refrigerated van and pop-up tent, unless otherwise indicated on this page. In those cases, however, our enrichment partners may not be in attendance.
