The economy is impacting our kids and families, and your support is needed now more than ever.

• Kids are hungry—More kids are coming to the Club hungry. Staff are scrambling to find filling meals that won’t break their budget.
• Families are in need—Many parents face evictions, layoffs, and overwhelming financial stress. Kids in the Clubs are exhibiting signs of these stresses.

The Mercer Island Boys & Girls Club depends on generous individual gifts, fundraising events, and foundation support to help us reach almost 2000 youth each year. The money we raise allows us to keep our services affordable and even free to youth in our community.

With your support, we will continue to ensure that no child is ever turned away from our Club.
