We were pleased to hear that BSC’s donations of school supplies were very appreciated in the drive organized by ReMax Realtors. As recognition to BSC, ReMax donated the sides and desserts for our regular Monday luncheon this week and the center donated the meat.

It was a nice celebration appreciated by all. Kimberly Dean, Senior Outreach Coor-dinator at BSC, spoke after the luncheon, bringing members up to date on the services being offered at the center.

Speaking of donations, the Bulverde Food Pantry is in need of canned fruit, paper towels, toilet tissue, canned meat and diapers (sizes 2, 3 and 4). You may drop your donations off at the center.
