With your support, we are closer than ever to advancing the Bird City Health Clinic and making a lasting impact on healthcare access in our community.
Donations made to this fund will go to the Cheylin Recreation Commission.
The Rec Commission coordinates activities for everyone in the Cheylin / Bird City area to participate. From baseball, volleyball, flag football, swimming to Christmas light contests, angel trees to support families in need, and Easter egg hunts, we strive to be as inclusive as possible. Your support on Match Day will help us purchase new baseballs, flags for flag football, junior hoops, and baseball uniforms. It will also help us create a "teacher's angel" tree so that every student is able to give back to their teachers this Christmas holiday.
The Bird City Senior Center is in need of repairs inside and out. The awning is damaged and does not match new siding on east side of the building. The center would also like to replace outdated and worn furniture and replace ceiling tiles. Your donations will help make these projects possible!

The mission of the Bird City Historical Association has been to preserve the History of Bird City.

Match Day funds for the Bird City Housing Authority are used for tenant services or projects. Many tenants struggle financially to make ends meet and providing a gift certificate for food at Hometown Market is one way of assisting tenants and supporting a local business. One project is an annual Christmas party for tenants with a light meal. The community meal is prepared by the organizers of the event and meat and paper goods purchased with Match Day funds. This is a way for tenants to be together with others during the holidays for those unable to be with their own families.
Your generous donations will go toward replacing the obsolete printer available to our patrons. Also, the child safe early literacy digital learning station, which helps enhance our public library position in the community through school readiness and literacy skill-building for young learners, is more than a decade old and needs replaced. It is a system the children love using but many features no longer work properly. Thank you for supporting community literacy with your donations!

Although the Farm to Plate program currently focuses on beef, other local foods such as meats, eggs, grains, fruits, vegetables, or dairy can also be served.
Cheylin Preschool Operations
The Preschool is not funded by the Kansas State Department of Education, so they rely on private contributions.
