Good Neighbor Committee

It is that time of year again!

The Good Neighbor Committee has kicked off their planning for this year’s Christmas Drive-In. At the Drive-In, families will meet Santa from the safety (and warmth) of their cars, while our volunteers load gifts, goodie bags, and food gift cards into their cars in the parking lot. For over 24 years, BLYC has been the home to a Christmas Party hosted for over 120 less-fortunate children of the Buckeye Lake area, and with the difficulties that the families have faced, specifically over the past few years, we need your help now more than ever to make it a bigger success than in year’s past.

How does it work?

Lakewood Schools will select families in need from the area, and each child provides us with a Christmas wish list for the committee to utilize when shopping. The committee asks members to sponsor a child for $50.

When is the Drive-In?

The Christmas Drive-In is December 21st from 2-4 PM at BLYC.

Interested in shopping?

We are always in need of shoppers. Please contact at if you would be willing to shop.

Looking to donate to this cause?

Each year we are able to increase the amount spent per child on toys and clothing through generous donations from members and local businesses; all at no cost to the Club. Thanks to the generosity of our donors last year, we were able to sponsor over 35 families with children at $150 each, along with donating $100 gift cards to 40 high school students. Over the last three years, donations have totaled $15K (2022), $13K (2023), and $19K (2024). Our goal for the current year is to see an increase by 20%. Let’s make this year bigger and better for the kids!
