Causes We Support

Teacher’s Supply Closet

Our club is proud to help support Teacher’s Supply Closet by collecting school supplies to donate. Teachers’ Supply Closet is a nonprofit organization that provides free school supplies to teachers in the Tri-County area. These supplies benefit schools where 69% or more of the students are on free or reduced meal programs. https://www.teacherssupplycloset.org/

Windward Farms Carnival

Windward Farms provides help, hope, and healing to children and families affected by abuse, neglect, or trauma through residential programs and community service. Each year our Windward Farms carnival is a huge success! Last year was our 10^th year and we served 144 hot dogs and hamburgers and over 15 gallons of snow cones to the children. Our group had as much fun as they did! https://windwoodfarm.org/
