Holiday Season at the Club

Looking Ahead to a Brand New and Exciting Year

The holidays were busy at the Club and we have so much to be thankful for. The holidays can be stressful to some families and the Club staff and community worked hard to help families through the season! The community came together to provide gifts, necessities and their own time towards local youth. From generous community donations to taking the Club bus around the city to give out gifts, we are thankful that we were able to spread some holiday cheer this season.

The Club has undergone changes this past year that will allow us to grow in many ways that were not possible before. We are excited for the future of the organization and serving youth for generations to come. We are very appreciative of ALL of our community partnerships. Our impact would not be as effective without the continued support of you and the Antelope Valley community.

Lockheed , Northrop , Boeing , CHiPs for Kids , Toys for Tots , and ABC7 Spark of Love donated gifts that were distributed to our Club members and the donations were so numerous, we loaded into our Club bus and drove around the Antelope Valley to distribute to local youth in neighborhoods most in need. Reaching youth throughout the community is our goal and with the support of generous donors we were able to do just that.

Staples in both Palmdale and Lancaster came together to make generous donations to the Club kids. This donation will give Club kids the tools they need to finish off the school year towards GREAT FUTURES.

Lancaster Jethawks staff and the mascot, KaBoom visited the Club kids bearing gifts! Throughout the year we partner with the Lancaster Jethawks on a few projects that leave the Club kids with unforgettable memories. We are so thankful for all that they do throughout the year.

Bank of America reached out to the Club to make a generous donation and volunteer their time to the Club kids to make the holiday's special. Not only did they donate $500 towards creating a fun day of holiday activities for the Club kids, they took personal time to help them with these activities. They enjoyed cookie decorating, pancake decorating, gingerbread house making, and giving local youth a reason to enjoy the holidays!

We are so thankful that Old Navy 's adopt-a-family initiative was such a success. Their store teamed up to gather gifts for one Club family. Throughout the year Old Navy keeps their doors open to the Club by volunteering their time to the Club and allowing Club teens to gain in-store work experience. We appreciate them keeping the Club families in mind during the holiday season.
