Lied Boys & Girls Club closure leaves Salt Lake kids without a safe haven.

Salt Lake City

A long-standing Boys & Girls Club in Salt Lake City has closed its doors, citing a loss of state and federal funding. The closure was announced shortly after the end of the club's summer program, leaving many families without a reliable after-school care option.

Local parents and former club members expressed concern about the impact on children who relied on the club for safety and support. The organization stated it is working with the city and other partners to help affected families, and may resume operations if new funding becomes available.
