The BNOC’s very own Charil Fuhrer has been recognized as the 2020 Richland County Outstanding Senior Citizen.
And quite frankly, we’re not surprised. While Charil is too humble to admit it, she has been a force at the BNOC (and in the community at-large) ever since she set foot through our doors…
The BNOC has resumed normal hours for both the Clothesline and Pantry.
Even though our hours are back to normal, things might still look a little different around here in light of COVID-19.
We’ve updated hours and regulations for the BNOC Clothesline and Pantry.
As the BNOC continues to adapt to “the new normal” in light of COVID-19, please note some new changes, including changes in hours and the mandatory use of face masks.
We’re pleased to announce that the BNOC Clothesline will be re-opening on June 15, 2020.
However, in our ever-evolving response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our hours and procedures will remain a bit different than before.
This has been a difficult time for everyone.
It’s hard to live in today’s world without being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in some way. Stay up-to-date on what we’re doing at the BNOC in response to COVID-19, including the closing of our clothesline, while remaining open with our food pantry.
Fighting hunger one bowl at a time…
On Sunday, November 3, 2019, the Clear Fork Valley will hold its 2nd Empty Bowls event at Clear Fork High School to combat hunger in Bellville and Butler…
We have so many wonderful volunteers at the BNOC, and this year’s Volunteer of the Year is no exception.
Established as an annual tradition in 2017, the Volunteer of the Year Award recognizes a volunteer whose unselfish and dedicated service has made a difference to our organization…
We extend our gratitude to Avita Hospital for their generous donation.
Avita Hospital donated a new A.E.D. to the BNOC this past week. And not only have they gifted a new A.E.D., they have also offered to maintain it every 6 months so that the BNOC can remain confident it has a working A.E.D. on-site. A new A.E.D. typically costs around $800, so this generous donation represents a big savings for the BNOC…
Formerly set at 10 am - 4 pm, the new Monday hours will be 10 am - 6 pm. We're hoping that keeping our doors open until 6 pm on Mondays will help clients that can't make it by 4 pm. This change will be for Mondays only. All other days / hours will remain the same.
Get ready for some fresh fruits and veggies!
The BNOC Mobile Pantry program - which involves the monthly distribution of free produce from Spring through late Fall - will be kicking off 2019's produce giveaways this April!
