Transformative Gift Recieved From Ag West Farm Credit

Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast is excited to announce a generous $100,000 donation from Ag West Farm Credit to support safety and security upgrades at the Railroad Clubhouse in Santa Maria.

This significant contribution will help fund critical renovations aimed at creating a safer, more secure environment for the hundreds of local children and teens who depend on the Club’s programs and services each day. Planned improvements include updated main entry, reinforced doors, and reduction of glass walls in the front of the building.  With these enhancements, they will ensure the Railroad Clubhouse remains a welcoming and protected space for young people to learn, grow, and thrive.

“We are deeply grateful to Ag West Farm Credit for their generous support of our mission to provide a safe, enriching environment for our youth,” said Maria Fabula,  CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast. “This donation allows us to make essential improvements to our Railroad Clubhouse, which will directly impact the well-being of the children we serve and strengthen the sense of security that parents, families and our staff rely on.”

Ag West Farm Credit, a longstanding advocate for community development and agricultural support, recognizes the importance of investing in organizations that make a positive difference. Through their Local Advisory Committee (LAC) Guided Stewardship Fund, the organization was deemed an essential service in the Santa Maria Valley and merited this significant gift.  “AgWest Farm Credit offers much more than financial products and services; we are your neighbors and we live, work and play in the communities we serve. Giving back to the people and organizations that help our communities thrive is a core value of our business. Our stewardship programs include robust scholarship opportunities and investing in community development and quality-of-life projects. We are proud to present these funds to the Boys and Girls Club and applaud their efforts to build a strong community here in the Mid Central Coast area.” shares Kevin Ralph, California State President of Ag West Farm Credit.  

The Railroad Clubhouse has been a cornerstone of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast since 1974.  The facility offers a wide range of educational and recreational programs designed to inspire academic success, good character, and healthy lifestyles. This donation will enable the Club to continue providing high-quality services in a space that prioritizes the safety of its members and its employees.
