The BNOC continues to adapt to “the new normal” in light of COVID-19.
Please note the following updates:
Face Masks
Effective Monday, July 20, 2020, we began requiring face masks for all clients and volunteers (for both the Pantry and the Clothesline), per the Richland County Mandate issued on Friday, July 17, 2020. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation with this requirement.
The Clothesline
The BNOC Clothesline remains open, with limited hours.
Clothesline hours will be: Monday - Wednesday, 10 AM - 4 PM | Thursday & Friday, 10 AM - 1 PM | Saturday & Sunday, CLOSED
If you plan on visiting the Clothesline, please look for a separate, dedicated entrance to the Clothesline only.
Only 3 people are allowed in the Clothesline at a time for up to 30 minutes of shopping.
A volunteer will monitor numbers of patrons and the accepting of money.
No children are allowed in the Clothesline at this time.
Clothing donations are currently being accepted.
The Pantry
The BNOC Pantry remains open, with limited hours.
Pantry hours will be: Monday - Friday, 10 AM - 4 PM | Saturday, 10 AM - 1 PM | Sunday, CLOSED
If you plan on visiting the Pantry, please look for a separate, dedicated entrance to the Pantry only.
We will only be allowing one person in the building at a time (for ID verification).
You will then be asked to meet us in the back of the BNOC building, where our volunteer team will bring you a box of assorted pantry items to your car.
We will be taking all necessary precautions regarding the safe operation of the pantry, including regular sanitization of food surfaces and shopping carts.
The Community Room
Until further notice, the community room will remain closed.
We wish our entire community the very best in health and safety during this difficult time, and we look forward to seeing you at the BNOC.
