Get Involved and Make a Difference in a Child's Life

Program and membership fees support only a small percentage of the funds needed for Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club to provide services to its 1,700 members. In order for the Club to continue providing more than 80 quality programs, and to keep them affordable to all families, additional support must come from concerned individuals, corporations and foundations.  No gift is too big or too small to make a meaningful impact

               

Our Club is not a federal or state funded program; we rely solely on contributions and the generosity of our community to sustain our programs and facility.  Your gift in any amount will have a tremendous impact. 

Here are a few ways you can help:
