We would like to take this opportunity to than all who have helped us change the life of a child through donations, volunteering and support to the Club. 2012 looks to be a record year for mentoring our youth. This year, the presence of the Boys & Girls Club of Eden is now more important than ever—providing parents with a safe place to send their kids after school and providing kids with a haven where they can have fun and continue learning in the out-of-school hours. In 2011, 426 kids counted on the Club as their place to get help with homework, get involved with volunteer projects, play sports, make friends, and just be kids.
Help us bring joy and security to the kids we serve, who count on us as a constant in their lives.
If a monetary donation isn’t possible please consider volunteering by calling or visiting us and help change the life of a child.

Annual "It Just Takes One" Campaign
The Club needs your help now more than ever. The Board of Directors and staff feel passionately that our members dues and program fees are kept as low as possible so all children, regardless of their situation and circumstances, are afforded the opportunity to succeed in life and Be Great. For this reason, the "It Just Takes One" annual campaign helps close the financial gap that exist in providing programs to so many kids throughout our community. We call it "it just takes one" because it just takes one person to make the difference in the life of a child by making a generous contribution today.
Be please the one and consider investing in the life of a child by making a tax deductible, charitable contribution to the Boys & Girls Club of Eden
