This year has been one of great struggle. It’s been a hard year for everyone, nonprofits included. But the SCYC still found a way to accomplish it’s goal of helping those in need during the Holiday School Break. 

We usually have a Food Drop in Mid-December where we provide both food and gift cards for local families in need. That, of course, was not possible this year. Instead of providing actual food, the schools asked us for gift cards that they could distribute. 

I am pleased to announce that both Maury Elementary and Jefferson-Houston Elementary each received $1875.00 in gift cards from the SCYC in time for the Holiday Break. The schools then distributed those gift cards to the families that needed help. 

We’d like to thank everyone who generously donated to us during Giving Tuesday this year. Your donations are what made these gift cards possible. 

The SCYC plans to be back in full force as soon as the situation allows. Stay tuned for fun events hopefully starting in late Spring or early Summer.
