Boys and Girls Club of Winder-Barrow Welcomes Children at New Center


A business owner and third-generation electrical contractor, Loren Wesley Vankirk serves as the CEO of Vankirk Electric, Inc., a comprehensive multi-family electrical service company. In addition to leading a national company, Loren Wesley Vankirk prioritizes giving back to the community by supporting nonprofit organizations such as Boys & Girls Club of Winder-Barrow County in Georgia.

A youth development program for boys and girls aged 6-18, Boys & Girls Club of Winder-Barrow recently got a new home in the Wimberly Center for Community Development along with several other nonprofit organizations. The new 20,000-square-foot community center is at the former site of Winder-Barrow High School on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

One of the services this Boys & Girls Club chapter provides at the Wimberly Center is “Making Minutes Count for Success,” an after-school and summer camp program for children in 1st through 5th grades. The free program emphasizes leadership development, recreation, and homework assistance. It can accommodate 100 students from County Line, Holsenbeck, Kennedy, Statham, and Winder Elementary schools, and transportation is provided from certain pick-up locations.
