GREENSBORO, NC
(April, 2020) – On Friday, April 17, 2020 from noon to 2PM, The Salvation Army of Greensboro’s Boys and Girls Club will hand out gift cards to pre-selected families in need. The $100 gift cards will be given with current COVID-19 social distancing standards in place and are being provided by The Greensboro Jacyees.
Captain Matt Hedgren, Corps Officer for the Greensboro Command said, “We cannot be more appreciative of the Greensboro Jaycees. Time and time again, they have shown love, hope, and generosity to our Boys and Girls Club members. These gift cards come at a time when our most vulnerable need these resources and to have the ability to provide for them demonstrates what Doing the Most Good means.”
“In these difficult and uncertain times, strengthening our communities is what will sustain us,” says Porshe L. Chiles, V.P. of External Affairs for the Greensboro Jaycees. “The Greensboro Jaycees are proud to serve alongside the Greensboro Boys and Girls Club in this way."
With the COVID-19 Pandemic at its doorstep, the Greensboro Command continues to serve the city. Our Boys and Girls Club Chapters have created virtual components due to an increased demand from so many who have children and have recently lost jobs due to the virus. Thankfully, area supporters such as The Greensboro Jaycees have taken steps to provide additional resources. But the need is great, and additional resources are in high demand.
The Salvation Army of Greensboro is uniquely positioned to support children in need, especially during these spring months. Our network of trained staff and volunteers are available for all those who wish to do the most good for this new decade and beyond.
