Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence County encourages monthly giving to support local youth

BEDFORD — The Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence County is promoting its Monthly Giving Program, which provides steady funding to sustain programs, expand services, and support the club’s daily operations for children and teens.

A monthly gift of $20 or more includes a club t-shirt. Donors may choose any amount, and recurring contributions help ensure that children have a safe, structured place to go after school.

It costs about $800 per child per year to attend the club. Families pay only $30 in annual membership fees, while the remaining costs are covered through fundraising and sponsorships. Monthly donations help close that gap, keeping programs accessible regardless of a family’s financial situation.

To illustrate the impact of recurring giving:

  • $25 per month can help support gym games and sports equipment
  • $50 per month can help provide arts and crafts supplies
  • $75 per month can help support cooking class ingredients
  • $100 per month can help support STEM learning materials

These examples show how contributions may be used; donors may also choose to designate their gift toward a specific program or need.

A contribution of $30 per month can help cover membership assistance for a child, while $67 per month can help support the full annual cost for a child who attends regularly.
