We hope that this finds you well, and that you and your family are staying healthy. We are all facing challenges unlike anything we’ve ever encountered. But the well-being of the youth and families we serve is our number one priority, and we are already working to navigate this challenging climate to continue to serve our community.
For many families, the financial impact of COVID-19 will be significant. They will lose income when businesses close and could face daunting medical bills if they contract the virus. They will need us more than ever. When we reopen our doors, they can trust that their kids will be safe and well-fed while parents work extra hours they need to catch up.
For children and teens, this crisis will impact their academic progress and sense of safety. We will help them make up for lost time at school with fun and enriching educational programs under the guidance of our caring and trained Youth Development Professionals.
We will be there to serve families enrolled in the Feed the Kids Program-- those who are in need of food. Additionally, we will continue to engage our members with educational opportunities, social and emotional wellness guidance and positive activities. Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta will be providing new virtual programming experiences online. Click here to learn more and register!
We would like to say thank you to our community for coming together in this unprecedented crisis and remembering that we are all in this together. Stay connected (albeit virtually) with friends, family, neighbors and Club mates. Continue to support those who are in need. Stay safe and healthy.
As always, our commitment to our Club members and their families are unwavering.
Sincerely,
Noam Zimin
CEO
Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta
