With their normal operations on pause, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad are going above and beyond to still take care of their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a steep learning curve for me, because social distancing is the polar opposite of what the Club is all about,\u201d said Village Clubhouse Director Abby Snyder. \u201cOur job typically is to nurture and love huge groups of children. Now we\u2019re pivoting to provide not only emotional nourishment, but daily meals for families in need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the Club was mandated to shut its doors in mid-March, it has provided daily hot meals to its members and their families. And as COVID19 takes its toll, Abby discovered that many families could use more than just one meal a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where Daybreak Church stepped up. \u201cI was walking in the Village and ran into Abby, and she shared the good work the Club is doing,\u201d said Daybreak\u2019s Jeff Myers, Director of Operations. \u201cOur church was looking for a way to positively impact our community, to shine a light. Our congregation jumped on the opportunity to help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And help they did. Over 4000 pounds \u2013 531 bags \u2013 of groceries and toiletries were collected and distributed to about 100 local families via a continuous line of cars that snaked around the block for hours last Friday. Abby hopes to continue to hand out food to needy families each Friday, and she estimates she has enough to last the next five weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about a meal or a loaf of bread, it\u2019s about connection,\u201d states Abby.  \u201cWe thank Daybreak Church for their amazing contribution, and making it possible to fulfill a real need!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s best to partner with great people and organizations,\u201d added Jeff. \u201cIt enhances the impact, and it feels good to know that we were able to put food on the table for some Carlsbad families. All of us at Daybreak hope we can continue to work together to do make a positive difference in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
