Kids club event takes bite out of hunger

Participants in the Royer’s Kids Club event on June 22 demonstrated a “can”-do spirit in the fight against hunger.
Thanks to the more than 130 children and their parents who came out in support of our annual food drive, Royer’s Stems Hunger. We asked participants to donate a canned good or other non-perishable food item as the price of admission in conjunction with the food drive, which benefits the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and the Greater Berks Food Bank.
You can see photos from the event below.
Meanwhile, the remaining 2013 kids clubs events and their themes are:

  • Aug. 17: Back to school
  • Oct. 26: Halloween/Bouquets for Books

Record attendance at Saturday’s Royer’s Kids Club event


There’s a spring in our steps after Saturday’s Royer’s Kids Club event, and not just because it involved hyacinth plants for Easter.
We’ve been offering kids club events for six-plus years but never had a turnout as big as the 517 children who joined us this time. Thanks to the kids and the parents who joined us.
This is our biggest year of kids club events ever, with three more to come:
June 22: Royer’s Stems Hunger
Aug. 17: Back to school
Oct. 26: Halloween/Bouquets for Books
Remember that it’s free for children ages 5 to 12 to join the kids club: just stop by any store or fill out the registration form on our website.
We look forward to seeing another big crowd in June.
