Feed the Families

The Bellville Neighborhood Outreach Center is working with donors to make this Thanksgiving a special time for some families in need by providing them with a delicious Thanksgiving dinner at Dutch Heritage on Wednesday, November 23rd. The BNOC food pantry is currently assisting more than 600 people every month. It is our desire to provide each of these people with a special Thanksgiving dinner. This will require the financial assistance of many people. We ask that you please help us by making a financial contribution to the “Feed the Families – Thanksgiving Meal”.

Planned Giving

The generous gifts and contributions of our friends enable the Bellville Neighborhood Outreach Center (BNOC) to implement its community support services. These gifts are received as part of a planned giving program.

Planned giving is a means by which a contributor directs the disposition of property during his or her lifetime. The contributor sees the benefits of a contribution and gains peace of mind in knowing that the donated property has been directed as he or she wishes. Unlike wills, which become a matter of public record after an individual passes, lifetime gifts remain private.

If you are interested in learning more about aking a contribution to the BNOC, please feel free to contact any BNOC officer or trustee.

Tax Benefits

We would appreciate your contributions to the Bellville Neighborhood Outreach Center. You should, however, consult you tax adviser to determine the tax impact on your particular situation. There may be important tax advantages for lifetime gifts. Charitable contributions may result in reduction of current income taxes and federal estate taxes, and the BNOC will not be taxed for this money.

If you are interested in learning more about making a contribution to the BNOC and your potential tax advantages, please contact your tax adviser, financial planner, or attorney.

Following is our “Wish List” of items needed for the new building. Please share our wishes with others as we hope to have all Wish List items donated.
