To our community,

We are Grateful For You!

Our hearts are filled with gratitude because of the wonderful people in our community who support, advocate, invest, and give time as a volunteer. During the month of November, we express our sincerest thanks to all who have supported the Club throughout  the year.

In 2024, Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club distributed 150 complete thanksgiving baskets to families in the community, and over 250 meals at our Community Dinner. We thank the many volunteers, staff and friends who joined us along the way. A special thank-you to the Elegant Affairs team for preparing a delicious, traditional Thanksgiving meal each year.

If you wish to support, please see initiatives below, directly benefiting a family within our community.

With warm appreciation, we wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
