OCTOBER END OF SEASON POTLUCK & SOCIAL PLUS CLOTHING DRIVE, Thursday, October 15 @ 6:30 PM.

This month we are doing something a bit different - a CLOTHING DRIVE! Please bring clothing items you no longer need, especially WINTER/COLD WEATHER items. It’s a perfect opportunity for our seasonal residents to get rid of the sweaters and coats they don’t need in Florida 😁 We want to include clothes as part of our next Open Pantry to help our neighbors in need. We’ll have a cake raffle and provide chicken as normal.

If you can’t make the potluck, you can drop off clothes during the Craft Club time on Wednesdays 11-1 or email us at [email protected] for someone to meet you at BCC. We’d like to not put them in the Pantry itself for now as less people will have a chance to get them.
