Helping Our Youth during the Coronavirus Pandemic - GivingTuesdayNow
Although we receive funding through government and other sources, we must raise over 50% to keep our operations in tact. Reaching a goal of $10,000 will help us keep our doors open during this volatile period of time.
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)
An infectious disease caused by a new virus that had not been previously identified in humans. The virus causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever and in more severe cases, pneumonia. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently and avoiding touching your face.
How It Spreads
The Coronavirus spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose.
Keeping Our Clubs Open
It is a scary time to call a community together. Although our schools are closed, our team of dedicated professionals are creating systems to keep in touch with our kids and parents remotely. The goal is to keep our members on track academically with distance learning. Our ultimate goal is to continue to be available for the youth we serve. They need a place that they feel safe and know they can go to no matter what. When the Coronavirus Pandemic has ended, we pledge to continue to offer the stellar programs and services to the kids who need us the most.
If we are unable to keep our clubs open, we are allowing for danger to enter into the lives of children who need a safe-haven with people they know will protect them.
Our Youth Need Your Help
Today, more than 1,400 boys and girls at risk and in need are taking advantage of the programs, activities, and services provided by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler Counties. These children are benefiting from trained, caring, professional staff and volunteers who help them take control of their lives, envision productive futures, and reach their goals.
When we all return from this Pandemic, these youth need to return to the life-changing and life-saving programs and services offered through Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler Counties.
Every dollar makes a difference.
