FT. LAUDERDALE – The Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County (BGCBC) has confirmed over 27,000 meals have been served so far — since the Covid-19 quarantine by offering a “Grab-and-go” meal program which benefits all club members in order to help curb the impact from the club closures on the community.
Members of the club present their Boys & Girls Club membership card upon arrival at their respective club and provided a packaged healthy snack plus a lunch/supper meal. While the clubs are not open during the meal service, and kids are not permitted to stay on property once they have received their meals, the opportunity to provide this service is truly an example of a commitment to their club members.
The clubs also offer an “On-Demand Club Experience,” which was launched beginning on March 23rd, as an online programming that allows Club Members to view videos on various topics such as STEAM, the arts, literacy, fitness, character building and more. Each day, a new virtual program is sent to parents. Club Members can access the programming directly through the link, or by visiting the BGCBC website. Promotion of resources to keep everyone up-to-date is conducted though Social Media and direct contact with Club members during their Wellness Check -ins.
