Schools and Day-Care centers like the Boys & Girls Club have been affected to make sure they positively impact a child's life while not being present. Making sure a child keeps up with schoolwork while remote, ensuring they are safe from the virus, and having enough food are just a few of the multiple challenges they have faced throughout the pandemic. During the lock down. The Boys & Girls Club provided meals to children and families suffering from food insecurity during the pandemic. A child can come at any point of the day to get a meal or non-perishable food items. When children returned in person, they made following COVID-19 restrictions a priority for the students and staff. They avoided a severe outbreak throughout the entirety of the pandemic. Executive Director Mary Beth Smith believed the policies they instilled avoided a severe outbreak amongst the whole club. Smith said: "The way we have been dealing with COVID now is we have the kids in groups, smaller groups. They stay with the same ten kids in everything they do, so if anybody did get exposed, then we'd only have a small group leave the club to quarantine." These policies are still instilled in the Boys & Girls Club and don't plan on changing while the pandemic continues. For more information, click here.
