BCAR Cares

Event Dates: May 1 - May 31

BCAR Cares Task Force is collecting books for the Rotary Club of Shallotte's Little Library, located at Mulberry Park. Books can be new or used. Although children's books are encouraged, we will accept all books.

The Little Library is a free book-sharing box where anyone may take a book or share a book.

Books may be dropped off at:

• BCAR - 5051 Main St, Shallotte
• Berkshire Hathaway - 3446 Holden Beach Rd, Holden Beach

To make a monetary donation and have BCAR purchase books on your behalf, call 910-754-5700.

Event Dates: May 1 - May 31

Our friends at Brunswick Senior Resources provide Boost Liquid Nutrition to local seniors. Currently, there is an urgent need for Boost Nutrition at BSRI.

If you would like to support this BCAR Cares program, packs of Boost can be found at your local grocery store. We are accepting donations of Boost during the month of May. 

Donations can be dropped off at BCAR, 5051 Main St, Shallotte.

To make a monetary donation, call 910-754-5700.
