Fauquier Health Gives Back to Students of Boys & Girls Club Fauquier

This year Fauquier Health is excited to support the Boys & Girls Club of Fauquier. In the early summer weeks, Fauquier Health employees came together to give back to the Club with a student friendly focus. The goal was to identify what the children at Boys & Girls Club were in need of, along with some fun activities that could be utilized during the summer months. Fauquier Health’s employees came together to donate school supplies, toys, and other non-perishable goods. Together the employees also donated a grand total of $366. The monetary donations will allow the Club to put on a celebration for the kids this summer.

Deanna Hammer, Resource Development of Boys & Girls Clubs of Fauquier, expressed, “Thanks to Fauquier Health for all the fun items provided for use in our summer programming. We always strive to be a safe, fun, and positive place for the kids. Through your generosity we can continue our mission of providing fun and educational programs to the youth of our community.”

It is an exciting time to be able to support the local organizations, such as the Boys & Girls Club. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way organizations operate, and will continue to operate moving forward. For instance, the Club, like most local businesses, had to adapt to adhere to CDC guidelines of wearing masks, taking temperatures upon entering the building, and gather in smaller group sizes to meet social distancing guidelines. Children have had to overcome the drastic switch from in-person instruction to virtual learning, in most cases. Throughout all of the change, the Boys & Girls Club remains focused on their mission – now more than ever.

Boys & Girls Club Mission: To help boys and girls of all backgrounds, especially those who need us most, build confidence, develop character and acquire the skills needed to become productive, civic minded, responsible adults.

Deanna Hammer commented, on behalf of the Club, “The support from the community is vital to our mission and success. We are always grateful for organizations like Fauquier Health, which keep the Boys & Girls Club operational. We could not do it without support from local organizations like yourself.”
