The weather may have forced us inside, but our Trunk-or-Treat was still a total win, and our Club kids showed up in the best costumes. We loved seeing all our kiddos smiling and filling their buckets with candy and snacks.

Huge shout-out to our community who, once again, showed up! Donating candy and food to help make our event amazing! We wouldn't be able to do what we do without you! THANK YOU💙

Club families, our trunk-or-treat will be held in our gym this evening!
Pick up your children like usual, and trick-or-treating will begin at 6pm. Use the red doors for entrance.

❗Please consider helping❗️
With the loss of SNAP benefits looming and the Boys & Girls Club Trunk-or-Treat tomorrow, we are changing things up. If any of our friends, businesses, or anyone who supports the club and our kids could donate shelf-stable items like ramen, peanut butter crackers, mac and cheese cups, ravioli cups, snack packs, etc., we would be very grateful! We want to send our kids home with something that could serve as a meal or snack alternative during hard times. 🙏💙🤝
An easy way to do this is with a Walmart grocery delivery right to the club! 317 Comingo Ave. Joplin, MO 64801. Thank you to the kind club supporters who have already sent us things!

We know that there is a risk of SNAP benefits being suspended due to the government shutdown. We know how stressful this can be, so we’re sharing a flyer with local food resources and pantries where you can access additional support if needed. Please take a look and share with anyone who may benefit.

Here at the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest Missouri, we’re committed to supporting our families through challenges like this — because no child should ever have to worry about their next meal. 💙

Attention Club Families:
For the rest of the 2025–2026 school year, The Club will follow the Webb City and Joplin School District calendars for all closed days. That means if school is out for a holiday, long breaks, or a teacher workday, the Club will also be closed.
Please note: half days will be on a case-by-case basis as we review staffing for that day!

👉 This week’s note:
Webb City sites will be closed this Friday
Joplin site will be open this Friday for the half day.

We know this change may cause some challenges, and it wasn’t a decision we made lightly. Aligning with school calendars helps us use resources wisely and continue providing the best experience possible for our Club kids. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support! It truly means the world to us. 💙

We would like to take this opportunity to wish our Board Secretary a happy birthday. Tracy has been a long-serving board member and has played a key role in several committees. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our mission.

🎃💙 We’re just one week away from Trunk or Treat…
This night means the world to our Club kids, and we want every child to walk away with smiles (and candy-filled buckets!). If you’re able, we’re still collecting candy donations. You can drop them off at the Club or give us a call and we’ll happily pick them up.

Your kindness helps us create memories they’ll hold onto for a long time. 🍬✨
