SHOPRITE GIFT CARD PROGRAM

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The ShopRite card fund is dangerously low

and in need of donations.

Here is an example of the help that the ShopRite gift card program provides!

A Single mother of a ten year old girl that has been living in a van with their two emotional support dogs. Due to limitations with pets, they do not qualify for emergency housing services and are in need of food security to ensure that they have fresh meals. The family uses our day center to prepare and eat meals, amongst other basic needs services. These gift cards have greatly benefited the well-being of this family.

Please consider supporting this program by donating ShopRite gift cards or making a monetary donation earmarked for ShopRite gift cards (please specify this in the memo line).

Your donations will enable us to purchase the cards at a 5% discount. If you'd like to donate electronically, you can select the "Love Local" option on EZ Tithe.

Thank you for your support!

PLASTIC FILM RECYCLING CHALLENGE!

Earth Stewardship is our responsibility as we collectively care for creation. We recognize the enormous and potentially devastating impact plastics have on our environment. One small way we can make a difference is the NexTrex Plastic Film Recycling Program.

BBPC will be collecting single-use plastics for recycling. We will partner with NexTrex to earn a park bench with our recycled plastic. To earn our bench we need to collect 1000 pounds of plastic by March 2026.

We encourage you to bring your plastics to BBPC, and drop them in the marked boxes. Plastic MUST be “clean”, dry, and free of food/waste residue. We cannot accept plastic that is filled with trash, waste, or is dirty.

If you have questions regarding what can and cannot be recycled, please see below or click the link below to go to the NexTrex website:
