OCTOBER 2020
Hello Friend of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta,


I hope this finds you all well, and that you are enjoying the changing of the seasons and staying connected and out of the smoke during these times.

Thank you to everyone who has already shown their generous support of the Club through our matching funds campaign. You are making a difference!

As a supporter, you are giving youth a safe, fun place where kids can still be kids during these uncertain times. A place where they are well-fed while their parents are at work. Where youth receive academic support, and assistance with their distance learning. Where social and emotional support is at the forefront, helping youth recover a sense of emotional safety and community that may be lost during these challenging times. 

You are not only supporting our extended 8 hour day, and the significant increase in Club staff required to maintain COVID-19 safety measures and procedures. You are also supporting confidence, creativity, and self-esteem during a time when youth need it most. Together, we are creating a stronger community for each child and every family.

All the best,

HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY, FOR A BRIGHTER TOMORROW.
When you give to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta, you are investing in hope and opportunity for our communityโ€™s young people. During COVID-19, we are doing whatever it takes to support youth and families in our community, and through this matching fundraising campaign, we are hoping to do even more.
When we meet our goal of raising $80,000 (plus another $80,000 in matching funds!), we can continue to offer our services to the families we serve at a minimal cost to them through our scholarship program.
