The Boys and Girls Club in Columbia Falls has moved into a new location at the former Glacier Gateway Elementary School.
Through the generosity of the building owner and a new nonprofit, the club will lease the upper floor of the spacious building, doubling the club’s capacity and moving it out of the old church that had been home for years, but has seen better days.
Freedom Bank President Don Bennett and other community members recently formed a new nonprofit, the Columbia Falls Kids Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 corporation.
