Our clubs serve as a safe place for kids, provide academic support and daily meals, and help our members and families thrive. Last fall, we had a new family sign up soon after they moved into town. Mom, a single parent, was doing her best to work and support her 4 children. In the time since the kids (J, H, E, and L) became members they’ve grown in their own unique way. J has improved at completing his homework on time through our Power Hour program, H has learned to be aware of his emotions and choose to react positively regardless of the situation through our program Positive Action, and E and L have learned about the importance of healthy eating through our Healthy Habits program. The Club also aided in gifting Christmas presents to the family during the holidays. The boys’ mother recently shared “The Club has been a saving grace for my boys. They helped with the boys’ attitude, school work, and were very helpful in getting my kids gifts and making sure our holiday season was the best.” This is just one way we support members including their parents who are doing the best they can for their families.
