Ukiah Boys & Girls Club: Serving Kids Despite Scant Resources

Reward, Ukiah, education, nonprofit, community, fundraising

The Boys and Girls Club of Ukiah is struggling with budget cuts as it prepares for its summer program starting June 11, serving about 120 children daily. - Staff report shortages of art supplies, sports equipment (soccer goals, balls), and rewards for the Star Buck program.

- The club serves a bilingual population and includes children with special needs, relying on trained staff and community partnerships. - Donations are urgently needed for cash, paper, pencils, board games, jump ropes, hula hoops, balls, and small toys.

Despite challenges, staff remain dedicated, with many former club kids now working there, and the club continues to provide a safe, affordable space for children to learn and grow.
