Thank you, Novant!
A big thank you to Paige Lippard with Novant Health for her generous donation of masks for all of our senior centers. The masks are pictured left, and from left to right in the picture on the right are Paige Lippard and Jackie Knott. We scheduled a drive-thru pickup for our interested seniors and were able to give them all away! We are so grateful!

Thrift Store Volunteers Needed!
Why: BSRI owns two thrift stores, one in Shallotte and one in Calabash. Why do nonprofits own thrift stores? Nonprofits rely on grants to continue funding their mission and programs, but grants come and go. For BSRI this is also true. Grants, although very helpful, are not always consistent, and nonprofits need a reliable source of revenue. There are ways a nonprofit can build capacity and expand reach. Thrift stores and generating profit at those stores to pour back into the organization is a great way to secure revenue.
What: Volunteers are needed to take 3-hour shifts at our Shallotte store, to come in and sort through donations, help place items on the floor, help customers etc. We of course are following guidelines to help protect our staff and volunteers from Covid-19. We continue to operate safely! Volunteers are vital in the success of this thrift store.
When: We work with our volunteers to be flexible with their schedule and help them pick one day a week and one shift.
Mon– Friday Shifts are: 10-1 pm 1– 4pm
