Spreading Holiday Joy
Thank you to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club community for supporting us in helping those who needed an extra hand during this holiday season. The Club "elves" were able to help out over 25 families and a total of 107 children this holiday season. Our ABGC Community joined together to provide a memorable and joyous holiday season for those who need us most. Bringing joy and the holiday spirit to these families is what the season is all about.
Special thank you's go out to Henry Bear's Park, who hosted a toy drive for the 7th year for us, Arlington Infant & Toddler Center who support us year after year, FedEx Needham who helped us again this year, Boy Scout Troop 313, Don Turner & the Brigham Square community for hosting a toy drive for us this year and Sabrina Correa, a senior at Minuteman high School who organized a "teen needs" Christmas Drive for the Club as well. This was a big hit!
Christmas Tree & Wreath Sale Success!
The 2018 Christmas Tree & Wreath Sale would not be successful year after year without the dedicated volunteers who make it all happen. Thank you to those who came out to help sell trees & wreaths and to the many Club families and staff who donated food to help feed the volunteers.
Special thank you to the Arlington High Football Team, the Arlington Catholic Football Team, the Arlington High Basketball Team, and the many other volunteers who came down at 5am to help unload the deliveries of trees and wreaths. A heart felt thank you to Fresh Pond Dunkin' Donuts and the Dunkin' Donuts at 369 Mass Avenue for donating food on two important mornings and more.
Many families come year after year to buy their tree here at the Club, and it's because we have the best volunteers to make sure they get the perfect tree!
