Palisades-Malibu YMCA
Help us receive, sort, and distribute food to children, families, and seniors in need. All safety and health measures are taken to ensure your well-being as we provide much-needed food to our neighbors. Volunteers are asked to bring and wear a personal face covering (mask, bandanna, other) that will cover the nose and mouth while at the event.

To ensure families have access to nutritious food, the Palisades YMCA has become a distribution center for fresh produce as well as “Grab & Go” groceries. Through our drive-through site, the Y is distributing bags of fruit and vegetables on Thursdays for all, on a first come, first served basis.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact Jim Kirtley, Executive Director, at jimkirtley@ymcaLA.org or 310 454 5591.
