Over 70% of Club members receive public assistance, and income data gathered from member applications indicates that 75% of members’ families earn less than $25,000 a year and 90% qualify for free or reduced school lunches. Also, more than 70% of Club members come from single-parent homes, with a majority being headed by the mother or grandmother.
