LARSON Donates $5,000 and 75 Hygiene Packs

LARSON has been a longtime supporter and friend of Boys & Girls Club of Brookings. This month we received a $5,000 donation from the company and its employees, along with an in-kind donation of 75 hygiene packs for our 4th and 5th grade Club members.

LARSON has contributed to the youth in the community in so many ways. When they reached out to discuss the best way to support our youth right now, Jadin Monsen, our Program AmeriCorps VISTA, worked with the Club directors to put together a list of items that would be useful to our members.

The LARSON employee-led IMPACT Committee arranged a “Make A Difference” event where employees worked together to purchase items, including full-size body wash, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and combs, to assemble hygiene kits during work breaks throughout the week. These drawstring hygiene bags were delivered to the Club and distributed to 4th and 5th grade students on Tuesday, November 1. Our members were so thankful for this generous gift and grateful for LARSON’s continued commitment to the youth in our community.
