The club is also seeking kitchen equipment, including electric griddles, hot plates, air fryers, slow cookers, toasters, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, cutting boards, child-safe cooking utensils and serving trays.

For youth programs, the wish list includes construction paper, cardstock, markers, colored pencils, crayons, paint and brushes, glue sticks, scissors, poster boards, stickers, craft kits and beads or jewelry-making supplies.

STEM and educational items are also needed, including LEGO sets, building blocks, science experiment kits, robotics kits, coding activity kits, whiteboards and notebooks.

The clubhouse is also accepting sports and recreation supplies, including basketballs, soccer balls, volleyballs, kickballs, footballs, jump ropes, cones, hula hoops, playground balls and outdoor games.
