Mount Vernon Mills and United Community Bank were recognized for helping to raise funds for the Chattooga County  Boys and Girls Club at the last meeting of the Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce.  A goal of $75,000 has been set to get the program up and running in Chattooga County.

The Girls and Boys Club will be located in the Save A Lot Shopping Center in Summerville in the building that formerly housed Sonrise Community Church.   The owners of the building, Larry and Connie Howard, have donated the use of the building for the Boys and Girls Club.

The Chattooga County Boys and Girls Club programs and services will promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. It is the place where great futures are started each and every day.
