CEO Message

Dear BCM Community:

2017 was a watershed year for BCM in many ways. It was

our 30th anniversary of service. I started as the new CEO.

We broke fundraising records with our Seeds of Change

Society, Tee it Up Golf Tournament, #GivingTuesday, and

annual appeal. We rebranded the 70/30 project to “Budget

for Life,” which graduated its 24th class since its founding.

BCM also received two major philanthropic investments.

The first will bring BCM’s technology into the 21st Century;

the second will evaluate and improve the business model for

THRIFTique. We will have more on the impact of these

significant gifts in future newsletters, but for now I want to

focus your attention on what is happening at THRIFTique.

The Buckhead THRIFTique is one of the key offerings BCM provides for our

community. Each year it re-gifts your donations of clothing to community members in

need to the tune of $150,000 worth of clothing. Additionally, it provides low-income

and value shoppers with great deals on lightly used, quality goods, which provide

modest returns to cover costs associated with running the store. Unfortunately, the

expenses exceed the profit by approximately $60K annually, hence the need to do a

thorough analysis of the business.

This is where you come in. We are looking for monthly rent sponsors for the store to

make up this loss in 2018 as we conduct our business analysis and plan for a future in

which THRIFTique can provide financial support for the programs. The opportunity is a

fun one: for each month of rent you or your bible study or group of friends are willing

to cover, your name will be promoted at the store, in newsletters, and on social media.

For $5,000, you will provide one month’s rent for the store and the store will be

“Brought to our community by YOU!” This is a tax-deductible donation, and will go a

long way in helping us cover the costs of clothing our community.

Please reach out to Tiffany Banks if you are interested.

2018 is full of tremendous vision and growth, and we are thrilled to have you walking

along side of us as we walk along side of those among us in need.

United in ministry,

Keeva

Food Pantry Survey

BCM is still conducting the food pantry survey

survey when signing in for services and

encourage them to fill-in the form while they

wait.

After the client receives a survey, please place a

gold star sticker on their folder to indicate they

received it. Completed surveys should be placed

in the large box on the Hospitality check-in

counter.

Food Pantry Volunteers

Please remember there are additional food

donations in the storage unit outside of the pantry

garage door. If inventory is low, please let
