The Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley is pleased to announce it will be providing transportation to its Fillmore Club Site. The Club has purchased a 15 passenger van that will pick up interested young people in front of the U Scream Ice Cream location at the corner of Main and Center streets in Piru, and the bus stop at the Rancho Sespe Apartments.

The Club offers nationally award winning programs to children from the ages of 5 to 18 years in the after-school hours from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The new Boys & Girls Club bus will pick up members daily at 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm at the U Scream Ice Cream in Piru and then at the Rancho Sespe bus stop immediately following the Piru pickups. Members will be returned to the Rancho Sespe bus stop and the individual member’s homes in Piru. Club members pay a $25 annual fee to attend the Club, and no child is turned away for their inability to pay the membership fee.

This transportation program is funded through a grant from the County of Ventura, will provide supervised transportation to and from the communities of Piru and Rancho Sespe to the Fillmore Clubhouse at 565 First Street in Fillmore.

It costs the Club $560 per child annually to provide services for its members. The obvious gap between cost of services and membership is bridged by generous donations from local businesses, private donors and local and national grants. Donors interested in providing financial assistance to the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley are encouraged to contact the Club at 805-525-7910. All donations, regardless of amount, are gratefully appreciated.
