It’s Today! The Second Annual Community Event and Free Farmers Market! There’s a cookout with a DJ, kids activities, and informational tables. Visitors have a chance to win one of five $50 drawings. More than 250 community residents are in attendance. It’s a terrific day with plenty of fun for everyone.
Five new board members are joining the BNC cause: Loretta Hart, Principal of Mary Ford Early Learning and Family Center; Chip Crane, CEO of Hill Construction; Shannon Praete, City of North Charleston Grant Consultant; Dough Barnett, Mortgage Officer for Southern First Bank; and Geneva Spann, Community Resident and Activist. Lots to be done in the coming weeks.
Hip Hip Hooray! After months of hard work, Charleston County Council awards BNC a substantial financial boost! $1.5 million American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Gap Funding Grant, will be used to bridge the gap between cost and affordability, to help twenty families achieve the American Dream of homeownership with a North Bridge Townhome.
Kicking off the First Annual Community Event and Free Farmers Market at the Perry Webb Center in North Charleston. A wonderful day with informational tables, music, kids activities, burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream. But of course, there’s lots of free fresh fruits and veggies for everyone. Looking forward to next year’s event.

Great on campus meeting with TTC President Mary Thornley discussing Bridge North Charleston’s scholarship opportunities. Requirements: high school diploma or GED, must be a resident of Accabee or Hub Village, for all ages with no grade requirements.
But the icing on the cake, President Thornley is so excited about BNC’s vision that she offered to be an unpaid consultant! Having Thornley on our team is HUGE! And Helen Sughrue, Executive Assistant for TTC President’s Office, is the go-to person for our applicants! Paperwork can feel daunting, but Helen will walk our applicants through it all!
Learning about all that TTC has to offer was impressive. There are nine-week certification programs and two-year associate degree programs … but there’s so much more with sprinkles on top, BNC’s scholarship applies to all of it.
