Every Wednesday, The Salvation Army in Brockville, Ontario, hosts a fun initiative called the Kids’ Club. This program provides children with learning, games, and even a meal after school. Additionally, it serves as a bridge to connect new families with The Salvation Army.
The program runs from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. And it’s open to students between Grades 2 and 6. During this time, children participate in games, crafts, and a biblical and moral teaching component. They are also served dinner.
While the kids are split into groups during activities, the dinner brings everyone together where the first step towards family connections is taken.
Hearing what the children have to say also allows the staff to learn about each child’s interests. Some of the attendees have connected to the junior band program, and were additionally able to attend music camp with The Salvation Army.
Since its creation in 2022, Kids’ Club has been joined by nearly 80 children from seven different schools.
Despite being a kid’s program, Kids’ Club helps The Salvation Army to connect with families and people of all ages.
