🚨 Calling all volunteer painters! 🎨

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Cumberland County needs a little help painting 3 doors and 2 window frames tomorrow or Friday.

We’ve got the paint. We’ve got the supplies. We just need YOU! 😄

No Picasso-level skills required, just a willingness to help... and the ability to get more paint on the doors than on the floor! 😂

Send us a message if you’re interested. 💙

🎒💙 A Great School Year Starts Right Here.

For many young people in Cumberland County, the hours after the school bell rings can make all the difference.

At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cumberland County, $10 a day helps give one young person a place where they can get homework help, enjoy a hot meal and snack, participate in programs that build confidence and leadership, prepare for life after graduation, and have caring adults in their corner every step of the way.

This school year, we're asking our community to help us Sponsor Hope.

⭐ $10 sponsors one day
💙 $50 sponsors one week
📚 $180 sponsors one month
🌟 $1,800 sponsors one young person for the entire school year

Our goal for the 2026–27 school year is $100,000, enough to provide a full year of Club experiences for 55 young people.

Whether you sponsor a day, a week, a month, or an entire year, you're giving a young person more than a place to go after school. You're giving them people who believe in them, opportunities to grow, and a place where they belong.

💛 Help us give our Club kids a great year. Sponsor Hope today:

Grateful for Another Incredible Community Partner!

A heartfelt thank you to Desoto Movers LLC for stepping up and helping the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cumberland County during our ongoing renovations.

When it came time to relocate one of our refrigerators from our Crystal Ave location to the Carl Arthur Center, the DeSoto Movers team generously donated their time, equipment, and expertise to make the move happen safely and efficiently.

It’s acts of kindness like this that keep our renovation project moving forward and remind us how fortunate we are to be surrounded by businesses that truly care about our mission and the young people we serve.

Thank you for being a part of building a brighter future for the children and teens of Cumberland County. Your generosity and willingness to lend a hand make a lasting difference, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.

☕💙 Exciting news for the future of our Club!

We are incredibly honored to share that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cumberland County has been selected as a recipient of a 2026 Neighborhood Grant from The Starbucks Foundation!

Thanks to the generosity of The Starbucks Foundation and the Starbucks partners who nominated us, this grant will help us create our very own Club Café as part of our planned Teen Center.

The Club Café will be much more than a place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a snack—it will be a welcoming space where teens can gather, build friendships, connect with caring mentors, participate in programs, and simply feel at home. As we continue renovating and reimagining our Club, this space will help create an environment where every young person feels supported, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential.

This project is another exciting step in our vision of creating a modern Club that meets the needs of today's youth while providing opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.

We are deeply grateful to the Starbucks partners who recognized the impact our Club has in the community and nominated us for this incredible opportunity. Your support is helping us create brighter futures for the young people of Cumberland County.

Thank you to The Starbucks Foundation for believing in our mission and investing in the next generation.

💙 Together, we're building a place where every young person belongs.

Our campers came ready for a DAY of FUN, and Wildwood definitely delivered! 🙌🏽

We hit the arcade 🕹️, enjoyed those famous boardwalk fries 🍟, showed off our skills on the mini golf course ⛳️, and even had lunch with our toes in the sand on the beach! 🏖️🌊

The smiles, the laughs, the excitement… THIS is what summer camp memories are made of! 🥰📸

Safe to say, BGCCC + Wildwood = A GOOD TIME! 😎☀️

One thing about us… WE’RE GOING TO MAKE SOME MEMORIES! 💙💛

Sometimes the best memories come from unexpected changes! 💙

When an unforeseen emergency prevented our Club members from visiting Dolphin Swim Club as planned, Northwest Swim Club generously stepped in at the last minute and welcomed our group with open arms. Thanks to their kindness and flexibility, our Club members were still able to enjoy a wonderful day of swimming, laughter, and fun!

A special thank-you goes to Tony Saltar, a member of Dolphin Swim Club, who joined us at Northwest and prepared hamburgers and hot dogs for the kids. We are also incredibly grateful to Eugene Medio for helping coordinate everything and ensuring the day came together so smoothly.

Thank you to Northwest Swim Club, Tony, Eugene, and everyone who helped turn an unexpected change of plans into an unforgettable day for our Club members. Your generosity and commitment to our youth truly demonstrate the power of community! ☀️🍔🌭🏊
