On June 12, 2017, TAG and its army of volunteers gave a few families in Santa Ana an unforgettable evening. The Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana hosted the event lead by Lupita and her great staff. The goal was to invite a handful of families that have children attending the Club to a wonderful evening of good food, good company, and some live entertainment (thrown together by TAG). The thought was to encourage families to eat together, enjoy each other, and strengthen family bonds. In today’s busy world, it’s easier said than done for families to be able to enjoy family meals together.
TAG showed up to the Club early to set up tables, chairs, flowers, cutlery, etc – and did their best to give the families a 5-Star experience. Musical instruments were available and the TAG’s “gutsy volunteers” did their best to accommodate requests. 🙂
Volunteers were in the kitchen preparing the food (catered by local restaurants). And of course as meals were finished, the crew did an excellent job cleaning up and preparing the B&G Club for another day of serving kids after school.
The highlight of the evening was to see the families enjoying their time together appreciating a great evening of food and entertainment. Kids are always a pleasure to serve, and having fun is always easy at the Boys & Girls Club.
“Being able to help out at the Boys & Girls Club was a special experience. Just doing something as simple as serving a meal goes such a long way to these families and being able to be a part of it was very rewarding. I am so thankful for the staff for allowing us to be a part of it and thankful for the continuous work they put into the community on a daily basis.” – Kelsey Dieter (HR Manager of TAG)
Easy to have fun at The Club with The Kids
We appreciate the Boys & Girls Club staff for always having hearts of gold serving their local communities.
We appreciate our volunteers for selflessly giving their time and energy.
And most of all, we appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the community and do our best to serve and give back.
