Make summer bright for kids in Greenville
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club needs your help to make this summer the best one yet for kids in our community. For nine weeks while children are out of school on summer break, the Boys & Girls Club hosts its Summer Camp at the Kroc Center in Greenville.
The children spend their days doing fun-filled activities, taking field trips, participating in character building classes and much more. We need help funding the scholarship program to help offset the cost for families unable to afford this quality out-of-school time experience for their children.
- $80 pays for a child to attend one week of summer camp
- $160 pays for one child to attend one week of camp, all field trips, as well as covers their t-shirt cost
- $720 pays for one child or half the summer session for two children. This includes field trips and a t-shirt.
Thank you for prayerfully considering how you can support families in Greenville this summer through The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club!

Greenville Connects is a local nonprofit advocating for better transit access and funding. Greenlink needs funding to develop their plan for 30 minute service and 15+ new routes to connect all the major towns in Greenville County. Full funding will create $2 billion in local economic growth.
Right now though, our transit needs advocates to help save the route service to the Mauldin/Simpsonville community. Please contact these elected officials to help:
- Mayor Paul Shewmaker: [email protected] | 864-619-8445
- Attached are also the council members you can contact. Share why transit matters to you and why you feel Simpsonville needs to maintain funding of the Simpsonville connector rout
