Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento
Sponsor a Club Family for the Holidays! We have many families who are not financially able to buy presents for the Holidays and the SAFE CU team can make all the difference! We can pair you with a family (or more!) who needs extra support and provide the details for the family. It is up to you what you provide, but new clothing, toys, and household items are very much appreciated. Gift cards to Target or a grocery store are also incredibly helpful for families, values can range from $25 to $200. Please wrap each gift and label it with the name of the child (or parent). We ask that all gifts are delivered to the Boys & Girls Club before December 23rd.
If you are interested in sponsoring a family, let us know and if you have any family size requirements. Then we will pair you with the right family and provide the details you need for shopping. Thank you!
