Every year the Optimist Club provides flags to subscribing members of the Community, and Community youth clubs and organizations help to provide the legwork under the supervision of Optimist Club members to set them up and take them down for each of the 5 flag holidays throughout the year. In return, the Optimist Club makes a monetary donation to each club. CLICK TO READ MORE AND SEE HOW YOU CAN HELP SACRED HEART YOUTH MINISTRY.
