The Boys & Girls Club of Cypress hosted a Canned Food Drive for the month of November. Members brought in non-perishable food donations to assist families in need during the holiday season. All collections were donated to We Care, a Los Alamitos non-profit organization formed to meet the emergency needs of families with services such as food, personal care items, clothing and more.
Landell Elementary School recently hosted a school-wide food donation drive. The school collected more than 2,700 pounds of food, which was given to the OC Food Bank. The Boys & Girls Club of Cypress received $0.10 for each pound donated. The money will be used to purchase food and supplies for members in need, as well as help supplement the costs of the club’s nutrition curriculum.
During the holiday season, the Boys & Girls Club of Cypress is collecting items needed to run the after school program on a daily basis. Community members may get involved by selecting an item off of the club’s “giving tree” throughout the month of December. Items such as playing cards, board games, sports equipment, ping pong balls, cleaning supplies, paper products and school supplies are needed on an ongoing operational basis. The club is also hosting a handmade ornament drive all month long to raise funds needed for games and supplies.
