Dear Friends,

Scripture commands us to love the least among us. But all too often in life, the poor and vulnerable can become invisible to us. This Ressurrection season, we invite you to join us and give of yourself to help alleviate the suffering of those in our human family who need our help most. 

We also welcome 'Peace Memorial BC' as a new host site, and looking forward to partnering with them.  The 2013-2014 host schedule will be updated and posted soon. Thanks for your patience! Garry

1/22/13--May we begin by speaking to you from our hearts!  A humongous "Thank You" to all our volunteers & supporters.  Through your generosity we were able to provide services for 196 individuals during 2012.  We also were able to save 5 families from eviction, and pay power stat for 8 families.  This would not have been possible without our partnering churches and the community. You are all truly appreciated by BCSTR.  

Welcome to Brunswick County Streetreach. We are a winter night sheltering program, however we provide assistance and resources to the homeless year round.

 Tonight, and every night, many individuals, families and even youths are alone and homeless in our neighborhoods. They are desperately searching for HELP!  And we choose not to look away! We choose to care and serve! We are a community response offering an alternative to homelessness in our county. It is not the solution to end homelessness...but it is a start! We hope you will join our mission.

 We are all about connecting the homeless to temporary shelter provided by Interfaith Churches. How wonderful that fellowship halls are opened up to provide a safe place to sleep, to shower, to receive clothing and food, and share the love of Jesus with those that have so little. The Streetreach program currently operates host sites during the coldest months of the year  (November - February.) However our vision is for this program to become year round, as the demand for our services are increasing daily.

BC Streetreach is a non-profit charity. We have no paid staff, we depend on the generosity of the community,volunteers and churches to fund & operate this program. We welcome the participation of your time, prayers and resources.

The number of individuals that need our help increases daily, yet we remain assured that in answering the call of God to help the needy, we are doing His work and He will bless it. If you know someone living on the streets, in need of temporary shelter, please ask them to call our message center at (910) 842-2711, leave a contact number for a volunteer to return their call. Please allow a 1-3 hour window for a response. As we are often in the mission field.

Please consider inviting a BCSTR representative to speak to your congregation or social group about how they can get involved.

BCSTR Friends - We Appreciate Your Support So Much! BCSTR is an exceptionally cost-effective organization that relies on volunteers and donated goods for 100% of our operational needs.
