Club kid looking in fridge

For nearly 2 in 3 Boys & Girls Club kids, school may be their only chance to get lunch each day. When summer arrives, too many face empty plates and uncertain days.

Thanks to our partnership with Maytag, Clubs across the country are filling the gap — and the fridge — with dependable, healthy meals that nourish kids’ bodies and minds. Now through May 31, 2025, Maytag will match your gift, dollar for dollar, up to $75,000 to help fill Club fridges to fuel great futures. Because opening the (fridge) door for Club kids means keeping them fed, fueled and focused all summer long.

The Fridge Is Just the Start

Since 2021, Maytag has opened the (fridge) door by installing Feel Good Fridges stocked with fresh, healthy produce at more than 50 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. Over 2,400 kids benefit each week from access to dependable, nutritious food.

See it in action: Last year, the Union League Boys & Girls Club – Barreto Club in Chicago received a Feel Good Fridge. Watch how it’s made a difference — from mealtimes to mindsets — and opening the door to possibility.

Raise funds for a month of meals

$120 = A month of meals and a summer of growth.

It only takes $120 to provide one Club kid with healthy meals every day for a month. Start a fundraiser, set a small goal and invite your friends to chip in — 12 people giving $10 is all it takes.

Your impact goes beyond feeding a child. You’re supporting the afterschool programs, summer activities and healthy routines that help kids thrive inside and outside the Club.

Fresh Picks from the Fridge

This isn’t just a fridge full of fruits and veggies — it’s a doorway to discovery.

Thanks to the Feel Good Fridge, Club kids have access to the fresh food that powers both bodies and brains. From the roll of blueberries to the pour of watermelon juice, every sound is a small celebration of what’s possible.

A well-stocked fridge does more than keep food fresh — it invites curiosity, sparks confidence and gives kids the fuel they need to focus on what truly matters: being a kid.
