In these challenging times, we are more committed than ever to supporting our community. In the wake of the recent disaster, our hearts are heavy with the loss and devastation that has touched so many.

The Boys & Girls Club of Elizabethton/Carter County stands with YOU, ready to offer help, comfort, and solidarity. The Club has been a cornerstone of the community, providing a safe and nurturing environment for children and teens to learn, grow, and thrive.

Right now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene the Club is:

  • Open extended hours, ensuring children have a safe and supportive environment.
  • Providing daily academic programming to prevent learning loss and help students stay on track while schools are closed.
  • Extending Social Emotional Learning to children who have experienced trauma or loss due to Hurricane Helene.
  • Serving two hot meals and snacks to members daily.
  • An approved open food site for families in need.
