Give the gift of a bright future! This year has been full of challenges and uncertainty, but the kids at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lower Bergen County have hope this holiday season! Because of individuals like you, we’ve been able to do so much to impact their lives already but it will take more than usual to overcome the not so usual circumstances of this year. Please consider one final tax deductible donation to our Making Futures Bright holiday appeal. Link in bio to donate

On Friday, we distributed a total of 90 turkeys, all of the trimmings, and produce boxes to families in Lodi in Hackensack. Thank you to Inserra Supermarkets for the turkeys, American Eagle food pantry of North NJ for the produce boxes, and our community for their generous donations. Thank you to the Zuccaro Inc. for donating and setting up the outdoor lighting for the food drive through at the Lodi Club. This wouldn’t be possible without all of them and of course, our amazing teen volunteers! Happy holidays!

While the Clubs are closed for a snow day today, check out how busy these kids were earlier this week, at both the Lodi and Hackensack Clubs! Our Remote Learning School Day program enables kids to access their remote classrooms and complete school and homework from a borrowed device if needed, from our clubs each day! Those in need also receive academic support!

#givingtuesday is a simple way to make a big impact, and for the many kids in need that we serve, it’s the simple things that mean the most...like a healthy meal each day. We provided over 74,000 free healthy meals to members in need last year and provided free grab & go meals this summer while our Clubs were closed. Your donation today will help provide the simple things for the kids who need us most. Donate at the link in our bio. #boysandgirlsclub #greatfutures #whateverittakes

Today is #givingtuesday a National day of giving. Donating on giving Tuesday is a simple way to make a big impact and for the mini kids we serve, it’s the simple things that mean the most... like having the technology they need to participate in school! We provide Internet and a chrome book to those in need, so they can participate in school remotely, while at our club! With the many challenges these kids are facing today, accessing the remote classrooms in schoolwork should not be one of them. Please help us continue to provide the simple things for the kids who need us most. Donate today at the link in our bio #boysandgirlsclub #greatfutures #greatfuturesstarthere #whateverittakes

Our annual Feed the Needy food drive in distribution campaign was a great success! Because of the generosity of Inserra Supermarkets and many other organizations and individuals, we were able to distribute 120 Thanksgiving food boxes including turkeys and all of the trimmings, so families in need in both Lodi and Hackensack could enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at home. Thanks to all who donated and helped with the campaign.
