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.

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…
