How your support makes a difference
Since March 2020, when Covid-19 forced sudden school closures, BGCB made a commitment to fill the gaps in accessible youth care, food scarcity, and academic support by keeping our doors open for families in need.
Today, with learning loss increases, threats to socioemotional well-being, and educational gaps widening, we are doing whatever it takes to ensure every child has equal access to resources, trusted mentors, and safe environments including:
- Providing safe, affordable childcare for those who need us as families get back on their feet
- Combatting food insecurity by distributing 120,000+ meals and snacks to the community-most-in-need since March 2020
- Reducing learning loss and social-emotional burdens for kids, by offering enriching in-person and virtual programs to help kids grapple with today’s challenges
- Ensuring finances are never a barrier to helping our families by reducing program fees and distributing more scholarships than ever before
- Safety remains our number one priority, we are closely monitoring reports from the CDC and our local health department for all updated information and protocols
