The following are small descriptions of a few of the organizations we support to make a difference in our community:

Schools & Communities Acting Together or SCAT

We have established the SCAT (The “Schools & Community Acting Together”) program to assist our local schools in meeting the needs of disadvantaged families. Frequent items such as school supplies and winter coats are collected as well as other items on as needed basis.

Cherokee Family Violence Center

The mission of Cherokee Family Violence Center is to enhance the safety of Cherokee County’s victims of domestic violence by providing emergency shelter and crisis intervention services while fostering affordable housing; offering longer-term education and support services; developing community partnerships and institutional awareness of domestic violence issues; and promoting a community standard of zero tolerance for violence in the home.

To help low-income families equip their children for each new school year. For the past 4 summers the BSSL has given out over 500 hygiene kits to the families participating in Cherokee County\'s Give A Kid A Chance Program. www.giveakidachance.org

MUST Ministries Summer Lunch Program

The BSSL also established the Barb Nugent Summer Lunch Program in memory of one of our founding members who held this program close to her heart. We provide the food and pack the bags for 2,500 lunches each summer to participate in Cherokee County’s Ministry for Service and Training (MUST) summer lunch program. This has provided thousands of summer lunches for local disadvantaged children who otherwise would not have a meal without the subsidized school lunch program.

Community Food Drive

Community Food Drive Every Fall, the BSSL organizes a community-wide food drive to fill the pantry at Cherokee County’s MUST Ministries.
