BCAR Cares

Donate before January 31

BCAR is collecting donations of socks, hats, and gloves in support of Street Reach. The mission of Street Reach is simple - lend a helping hand to those in our community that do not have a place to call home. Street Reach is a non-profit organization in Supply, NC that runs 100% on volunteers and donations from the community. 

We request that items are not used. Items can be for men, women, or children. 

Donations can be dropped off at the following locations: 

• BCAR | 5051 Main Street, Shallotte
• Century 21 Collective | 8903 E Oak Island Drive, Oak Island
• Margaret Rudd & Associates | 1023 N Howe Street, Southport
