#givingtuesday is almost over but it’s not too late! Donate now to help provide the simple things for the kids who need us most...things like the technology they need to access remote learning, a healthy meal each day, and caring adults who encourage, motivate, and provide academic support. That’s who we are and what we do! Donate now at the link in bio.

#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

Tomorrow is GIVING TUESDAY, a national day of giving. Giving Tuesday is a simple way to make a big impact and for many of the youth we serve, it’s those simple things that mean the most. Join the movement and help impact a life of just one child we serve, by donating to our Giving Tuesday campaign. Be sure to share our post to make an even bigger impact.

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.
