H&M Catering earns YMCA Volunteer of the Year Award
Each year, the Gaston County Family YMCA honors an individual dedicated to serving the community with its Volunteer of the Year Award.
In 2020 this award is being given to Hans and Megan Kanal from H&M Catering, located in Mount Holly, for their tireless work combating hunger during the COVID-19 shutdown.
One in five children in North Carolina struggle with food insecurity, which can be an anxiety-provoking issue for kids who struggle with hunger and don’t have access to free and reduced lunch at school.
In addition to children, COVID-19 has impacted seniors, many of whom were on waiting lists to receive home deliveries.
Gaston Y plans Reset Challenge beginning Feb. 1
Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired in these COVID-19 times?
The Gaston County Family YMCA invites all in the community to participate in a free six-week Reset challenge designed to help transform spirit, mind and body.
“Now, more than ever before, we need to recharge and refocus,” said Gaston County Family YMCA CEO Sharon Padgett.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has worn us down, she continued. It has isolated us in so many ways. This challenge provides an opportunity to get active and healthier by yourself or as a family.”
Participants can opt-in to the free challenge by texting RESET to 844-473-9622. Follow the prompts to sign-up for the challenge that begins Feb. 1.
