Every year, nearly 4 million young people are served by Boys & Girls Clubs. To show their continued support in preparing today’s youth for a bright tomorrow, Ross Stores, Inc. is partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America with a three-week program called, "Help Local Kids Learn."

Beginning Feb. 1, customers in Menifee can make a monetary contribution at their local Ross Dress for Less location during checkout to be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Inland Valley. The Menifee Ross store is located at 30141 Antelope Road.

"Ross Stores is very excited to host the sixth annual Help Local Kids Learn in-store campaign for the Boys & Girls Clubs," said Matt Young, group senior vice president of Ross. "This campaign will directly help kids at local clubs across the county. BGCA and Ross’ strong partnership of 14 years is rooted in both organizations’ shared commitment to help young people reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens."

The Boys & Girls Club of Menifee Valley serves hundreds of local youths. Information about the club can be found at menifeebgc.org.
