Every year, nearly 4 million young people are served by Boys & Girls Clubs. To celebrate these extraordinary efforts, Family Dollar Stores, Inc. (NYSE: FDO) announced that it is partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) with a four-week program called, “Open the Door for America’s Kids.” Beginning Nov. 1, Family Dollar customers throughout Lake County can make a monetary contribution at checkout to be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana this holiday season.
“After learning how many children are served by Boys & Girls Clubs across the country each year, we knew we wanted to lend a hand,” said Howard Levine, Chairman and CEO of Family Dollar. “We are thrilled to be teaming up with such an incredible organization, and I know that together, we can help provide a happier holiday season to many children and families across the country.”
“At Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana we strive to provide the 9,000 youth that attend our Clubs every year with a safe-place to grow and learn; a positive place where young people have the opportunity to develop a GREAT FUTURE. Companies like Family Dollar help make the dream of a GREAT FUTURE a reality for local youth. We thank them for their participation this Holiday Season.” Megan Henning, Marketing Manager, Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana
