Apr. 14—TIFTON — The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently donated $15,000 to the Tiftarea YMCA.

These funds will be used to provide nourishment for the Tiftarea YMCA's after-school program. The program begins with a daily devotion, nutrition, time for tutoring/homework, and outdoor enrichment activities and games. Speaking engagements from community leaders are encouraged, as it allows the children to learn about different professions in the area.

Before COVID-19, this program fed approximately 450-500 children at eight outreach sites throughout the community in the summer time and two afterschool sites with approximately 50-60 kids per day during the school year.

TRMC Foundation officials said the agency is excited to partner with the Tiftarea YMCA on this worthy project. The foundation is a community sponsor, and efforts are used on medical equipment for local and surrounding county emergency medical services as well as assistance within the community.
