BCAR Cares

Monday May 2 - Tuesday May 31

Brunswick County Association of REALTORS® Cares Task Force needs your help. We are collecting backpacks and reusable grocery bags during the month of May, in support of WINGS Ministries. WINGS Ministries works with Brunswick County schools to provide food and supplies to local children in need.

GOAL #1: BCARs goal is to raise $3,500 or 500 backpacks. All monetary donations will be used to purchase backpacks. WINGS Ministries can get backpacks for about $7 each. 

GOAL #2: BCARs second goal is to donate 300 reusable grocery bags.

Donated backpacks can be dropped off at BCAR, 5051 Main St, Shallotte. We do request that the backpacks are NOT used. Email katie@bcarnc.com to schedule a backpack pick-up at your office.

To make a monetary donation, call 910-754-5700 or mail a check to BCAR.
