Are you the one? It just takes one person to make a difference in the life of a child. By pledging your support to our annual "It Just Takes One" campaign, you can make a positive impact on the youth in our community. Even though we charge just $5 a year for membership, it costs us nearly $750 to provide our programming to each child. Please consider making a donation to help us reach out to every child who needs a caring, safe and educational place to spend his or her out of school hours. The Jeremiah Milbank Society The name of the society was chosen because of the legacy created by Jeremiah Milbank (1887-1972). Throughout his lifetime, Milbank gave a fortune to help those in need, yet he never sought monuments or memorials. He believed that wealth not used to help others was wealth wasted. One of Milbank's guiding principles was to strike at the roots of illness before it took hold. He understood the similarities between illness in the physical sense, which could disable or kill, and illness in the social sense, which deprived children from disadvantaged backgrounds of a fair chance in life. A lifelong believer in voluntarism, Milbank helped President Herbert Hoover develop the Boys & Girls Club national organization that provides support services for Clubs serving disadvantaged youth. He served as treasurer of the national organization for more than 25 years. Every community has people such as Jeremiah Milbank. The Jeremiah Milbank Society was created to recognize those individuals who understand that "it just takes ONE" person to make a difference in the life of a child.
