WNY kids to hone their cooking skills with 'Y on the Fly' in Buffalo

YMCA Buffalo Niagara’s “Y on the Fly” program will be partnering with FeedMore WNY for “Kids in the Kitchen,” a hands-on education program with children in Buffalo.

The education program will take place at the Resource Council of WNY (347 E. Ferry St., Buffalo) from 10-11:30 a.m. Saturday, March 12. Children will learn about a food group, then create a delicious snack. Thanks to FeedMore WNY, they will then receive ingredients to recreate the recipe at home.

The YMCA will provide a free lunch to members of the community who attend this event.

“Y on the Fly” is a mobile YMCA that visits neighborhoods and offers free programs aimed to help youth of all ages stay active and engaged. “Y on the Fly” provides healthy meals to children and families, educational enrichment, physical activities and games.
