Boys and Girls Club Accepting #GivingTuesday Donations

On Tuesday, Dec. 2, communities around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

It’s that simple!

Since 1967, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem has helped to provide Great Futures for all young people who enter our doors, especially those who need us most. Throughout the year, we are given the gift of amazing kids who come into our Club every day and share with us their stories of determination, triumph, and perseverance. You can join in this season and help us Give the Gift of a Great Future to the kids in our community. Without safe havens like Boys & Girls Clubs, children have fewer opportunities to receive positive guidance and support.

• 646 children in Salem NH receive state aid.
• 1 in 1000 NH teenaged girls will become pregnant this year
• 19.8% of NH teens smoke cigarettes, higher than the national average of 18.1%.
• 23% of NH 12-20 year olds report binge drinking in the past 30 days. NH ranks second in the nation for 12-20 year olds binge drinking.

How do we make a difference?

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem is the largest youth serving agency in the greater Salem area providing opportunities during the critical before and after school hours for over 300 children daily. The Club is uniquely situated to provide high-quality programs that foster academic success, healthy lifestyles, and good character and citizenship. These facts, combined with a well-trained, caring staff, make the difference.

The cost to provide services to one of these children is about $1,100 per year. An annual membership is just $50. That’s where YOU can make a difference.

With your support, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of our Club members and their families.
