Help the Boys & Girls Club of Oyster Bay-East Norwich
Fulfill Holiday Wishes for Club Members.
With the holidays quickly approaching, staff members are working hard to provide families with the most magical holiday season possible.
Listed below are ways the Club is requesting assistance this holiday season:
Make a Donation to our Annual Fund Drive… The Club's end-of-the-year appeal helps us reach our annual budget, supports the Club’s general operations and give members the greatest gift of all - the promise that the Boys & Girls Club will always be a safe and fun place where they are welcome.
CLICK HERE to donate securely online, or call us at 516-922-9285, with a credit card, or mail a check to the Boys & Girls Club of Oyster Bay-East Norwich, 1 Pine Hollow Road, Oyster Bay, NY 11771.
Secret Snowman Program…The purpose of this project is to enable underprivileged members to receive a special gift to help brighten their holiday season. The parents of those members who are chosen will be given the opportunity to name a gift their child needs or wants. In order to maintain the anonymity of the members, each member will be assigned a number, which will appear on the paper snowman, along with their gender, desired gift and size and color, if applicable. The snowmen are color coded, in that the same color snowmen will indicate that the participants are siblings. The snowmen will be displayed in the lobby of the Boys & Girls Club beginning November 26th, for parents, board members, volunteers, and staff to select and purchase a gift in time to distribute to the recipient’s parent for the holiday.
Purchase your Christmas Tree at Dodds & Eder Home…Dodds & Eder Home will make a donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Oyster Bay-East Norwich for every Christmas tree sold! You’ll find fresh cut trees, wreaths, roping, plants, flowers, and Christmas gifts that have come to make Dodds & Eder Home one of the North Shore’s premier Christmas shopping centers!
Give the Essentials…Provide a laundry basket filled with supplies like paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, laundry detergent, bath towels, cleaning supplies, etc., and the Boys & Girls Club will disperse these items to families in need. Donations may be dropped off at the Boys & Girls Club of Oyster Bay-East Norwich to the administrative office, Monday-Friday, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Supply the Club with Gift Certificates…As with many non-profit organizations, budgets are necessary for capital expenses and programming. Funds are not readily available for the needed little extras. In addition, the Club needs gift cards to provide Club families with relief when times get tough. Gift cards to grocery stores, gas stations and stores, like Walmart and Target, are the most impactful.
Provide the Boys & Girls Club with Much-Needed Items…The Boys & Girls Club is currently in need of the following new items: board games, card games, ping pong balls, calculators, small prizes for incentives, art room materials, gym equipment (basketballs, footballs and soccer balls), gift cards (Walmart & Amazon), musical equipment and more.
Adopt a Family…Currently, the Club staff is aware of some families who will not have a holiday, unless they are adopted by a kindhearted person.
How does the program work? Simply contact the Boys & Girls Club's Program/Compliance Administrator, Lori Wood, at LoriWood@bgcoben.com to let us know you are interested in adopting a family. Lori will work to identify a family and provide you with their holiday wishes. Kindly drop your presents at the Boys & Girls Clubhouse no later than Friday, December 14th.
Amazon Smile...Did you know your purchases can make a difference? AmazonSmile donates to Boys & Girls Club of Oyster Bay- East Norwich when you do your holiday shopping at smile.amazon.com/ch/11-2136505.
