Boys & Girls Clubs of America and goPuff, a company
delivering everyday essentials in minutes, launched a joint campaign through
which goPuff pledged to match donations up to $1 Million for the Boys &
Girls Clubs COVID-19 Relief Fund. From providing meals to supporting families
of first responders and offering virtual learning to keep kids and teens
engaged and on-track academically, the relief fund is assisting Boys &
Girls Clubs across the country to continue to serve those most in need.

Running from April 23 through Giving Tuesday Now
on May 5, the campaign will support the Boys & Girls Clubs COVID-19
Relief Fund in two ways:

• For anyone who donates
  to the Boys & Girls Clubs COVID-19 Relief Fund directly,
  goPuff will match their donation dollar for dollar.


• To further raise funds
  as well as awareness, goPuff and Boys & Girls Clubs of America are
  launching a social effort asking the public to share a throwback childhood
  photo on social media using the #GoBackGiveBack hashtag and tagging
  @goPuff. For every photo posted and tagged, goPuff will donate $5 to the
  fund.

 

The Boys & Girls Clubs COVID-19 Relief Fund will also
enable Clubs to provide critical services when the nation emerges from this
crisis. Clubs will be vital to helping rebuild their communities and restore a
sense of safety for kids that has been lost as they experience traumas during
the pandemic. Club programs will also help get kids back on track - belaying
academic backslide from weeks or months of school cancellations. With the
long-term economic and societal impact of COVID-19 unknown, communities will
need Clubs more than ever to help young people to stay on the right path and
build essential skills to contribute to the future workforce.

Fund, visit BGCA.org/gopuff.
