YMCA's new mobile kitchen rolls through Lansing neighborhoods

The YMCA of Metropolitan Lansing just launched the Healthy Living Mobile Kitchen. We talk to president and CEO Jeff Scheibel and kitchen manager Ashley Beversdorf to find out how it works.

According to the 2009 Feeding America Study, one in four Mid-Michigan children will go to bed hungry tonight. The YMCA of Metropolitan Lansing had an idea that might help change that statistic.

They have been sponsoring community feeding programs since 2011, but this new idea, the Healthy Living Mobile Kitchen, is going to reach even more people in need.

Current State speaks with the President and CEO of the YMCA of Metropolitan Lansing, Jeff Scheibel, and Ashley Beversdorf, kitchen manager of the Mobile Kitchen.
