BREAKFAST CLUB
What is Edgewood’s Breakfast Club?
The Breakfast Club offers an opportunity for volunteers to meet Edgewood’s children at our Vicente Campus and cook a breakfast for them. The Campus is a residential treatment facility for children with severe emotional disabilities. The Breakfast Club provides a safe and structured way for Edgewood children to develop social skills and interact with members of the community.
Who are the Edgewood children?
The children range in age from 6 to 17 and live in cottages on campus. Most of our children have experienced abuse and neglect, resulting in emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. They receive intensive multidisciplinary services at Edgewood until they are ready for a lower level of group care, family reunification, or foster care.
How does the Breakfast Club work?
The morning begins with an orientation about Edgewood, the residential treatment program, and the children we serve. Volunteers are divided into teams and assigned to a cottage. With staff supervision, volunteers prepare and serve breakfast for the children. The meals are simple and all food is provided. Breaksfast is followed by a recreational activity for which volunteers are welcome to stay.

The Breakfast Club is held on Saturdays and Sundays by prior arrangement. Check-in and orientation begin promptly at 8:30 am and volunteers are in the cottages by 9:00 am. Breakfast is prepared and served by 10:00 am. At the discretion of the cottage staff, volunteers may visit with the children in the cottages until 11:30 am.
