A table was set to display photos of those who passed away last year. Volunteers also enjoyed browsing a scrapbook that documents much of the BNOC history and achievements.
Carol presented Bill Smith's family with the plaque that will be placed at the BNOC in his honor. Judy shared warm memories and remarks about Mr. Smith and his involvement with the BNOC.
As a thank you to Henry Szabo for his immeasurable support and donations to the BNOC, he was presented a special gift of beautiful neck-ties and a tie tack.
Pat and Wyatt Cushing were awarded as the past year’s Volunteers of the Year! The couple dedicates their time and hard work at the BNOC together and separately, always willing to step up when needed.

This past Saturday, we had the opportunity to gather most of our BNOC volunteers to share a meal and celebrate their dedication to serving our Clear Fork Valley community.
Congratulations to Pat & Wyatt Cushing, the 2023 Volunteers of the Year!
We also presented the Smith family with a plaque in memory of Bill Smith, who was a faithful supporter and instrumental to the BNOC food pantry and clothesline efforts since its inception.
Also recognized was Henry Szabo, who has been called to bless our community and uses his gift of couponing and bargain shopping to regularly supply the BNOC with so many essential items that our clients need each month.
Thank you to ALL of our volunteers for all you do to help our Clear Fork Valley neighbors when they need it most!
