With the support of Hastings Mutual, the Club will be able to continue to provide healthy meals and snacks to Club members throughout the week. Currently, the Club serves a daily snack to all members after school, evening meals to all members on Monday and Thursday evenings in partnership with Second Helpings and other local organizations, and weekend snack packs to all members on Friday afternoons. In 2019, BGCN served 64,467 healthy snacks and 5,685 nutritious meals to its members.
“It is amazing to see how many of our members participate in the meals and snack programs. In many instances, the meals and snacks the Club provides may be the only balanced, nutritious meals a child receives throughout the week.” said Mike Gilbert, BGCN board member and regional president of ONI Risk Partners. “With the generosity and support of the Hastings Mutual Charitable Foundation, we are able to continue to offer healthy food programs to our members who need our services the most.”
