Not only is the Club dedicated to helping children fulfill their potential, the Club plays an important role in helping whole families build a better future for themselves. The Club's affordable and reliable childcare programs keep moms and dads in the workplace and that's important for our whole community as we move forward throughout the pandemic.
A Dad named Mike with three kids in our school age Clubs says, "With childcare we can count on at the Club each day, I’m excited to be able to tell you that we have become a dual income family again!
Not only has the Club helped us get on our feet financially, it’s been an amazing place for our kids. The Boys & Girls Club has been the stable foundation our kids needed and they are so happy at the Club! Each of our kids has found something different they love at the Club. Art, cooking, sports, and even financial literacy programs. Our oldest is pretty shy, but at the Club, she’s made good friends and found a place where she’s accepted for just being herself, and that’s something she hadn’t really found anywhere else.
And, over the last year and a half when schools were closed, the Club was always open. Our kids got the help they needed with schoolwork and used the Club’s internet and laptops for their online learning. The Club was a life saver for them.
Whatever our kids need, the Club always finds a way to help – they’ve given my kids meals, back-to-school outfits, holiday gifts, and so much more. I’m so grateful that through all our ups-and-downs, my family can always count on Boys & Girls Club.”
Thank you for helping families like Mike's!
