When I came to the Boys & Girls Club I was in foster care and didn't have many friends. People introduced themselves to me and showed me the club. 2 years later was are all still friends and I love coming to the Boys & Girls Club

We are tremendously grateful for the services and care provided by the Boys & Girls Club. The staff is amazing and our kids love it there. I do not know what we would do without them.

I would like to send a huge thank you to the staff at Wallingford Boys and Girls Club. Caring for my child allowed me to take care of hundreds of other people at the UW Medical Center. What a great team!

Being able to provide Mimi with a familiar routine and structure during this crisis was invaluable to her mental health and development.

Not just my family, but other families in our neighborhood have shared that [the Club] and Meaghan has been the most stable, reliable, and most thoughtful during this pandemic. Your decisions for programming and how to support families have been spot on!
