In June 2025, Sierra Loredo spoke to our group about the summer projects going on at the Boys and Girls Club. Club members donated feminine hygiene products for the teen girls. A few club members signed up for the K/1 summer reading program. In May, jewelry donations from WCV members allowed the kids to select a Mother’s Day present.
