Mission:
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Ward Connection:
Katie Millar: We were looking for a community centered group based activity that wasn’t a recurring commitment. They are really easy to work with and coordinate, and we loved having face-to-face contact with community members. Our activity was distributing free prepared meals. People would come through the drive-in and we would share meals with them. It was a good reminder to me that I didn’t have to worry about where my next meal is coming from, but that other people in the community do. It was humbling and made me think I should be involved more. It’s clear that the Boys and Girls Club facility is based on a lot of things with the community because of how organized they are and integrated into the community.
