Sixty Years Of Setting Kids Up For Success
Reaching our $50,000 goal helps close the gap between funding we have secured but are still waiting for. It provides essential cash flow to help keep our doors open so we can meet the needs of all youth and families who seek our services and support.
For nearly sixty years, the Boys & Girls Club of San Fernando Valley has been a safe place for children and teens to learn, grow, belong, and simply be kids.
Today, that safe place is at risk.
Recent funding cuts and delays have created an urgent shortfall in our afterschool program. Without immediate support, our ability to keep our doors open and continue serving the youth who depend on us is in jeopardy.
For our kids, the Club is more than a place to go after school. It is a warm meal, homework help, athletics, arts, mentoring, counseling, field trips, recreation, and a trusted adult who notices when something is wrong and continues to show up.
It is a place where children know they are safe, supported, and valued.
Every gift helps us keep that promise.
Please help us close this urgent funding gap and keep our doors open for the children and families who count on us every day.
No gift is too small. Your support helps provide the programs, meals, mentors, and caring staff our youth need to thrive.
After nearly sixty years of showing up for our community, we are asking our community to show up for our kids.
Give today. Help us keep the doors open. Help us keep showing up for them.
Thank you for believing in our youth and in the future of our community.
