"The YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, and specifically the Southeast Armed Services Y Center is very proud to partner with the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation and Move For Hunger to provide food resources for junior enlisted men and women in uniform and their families stationed in the Pikes Peak Region. Serving the brave men and women in our military community is one of the tenets of our organization's cause and aligning with the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation and Move For Hunger allows our Y to bring the resources from the foundation to a local service member in need. It is a humbling privilege to serve those who serve our country."
