Serving with heart. Giving with purpose. 🫶
At the Fair Bluff Senior Center, we believe older adults are leaders, contributors, and changemakers. Through a spark that was ignited in us, we created our Acts of Grace Community Outreach Group. This group leads meaningful service projects throughout the year in partnership with various organizations. The Fair Bluff Senior Center is also affiliated with AmeriCorps RSVP at Southeastern Community College.

Our goal is to reinforce the belief that older adults are valuable contributors & leaders within their communities by giving them the chance to give back through volunteering/advocating for others—organizing donation drives, community projects, and intergenerational service opportunities.

"Purses with a Purpose" Drive
👜 In July 2024, the Acts of Grace Community Outreach Group ran one of our most meaningful projects, our "Purses with a Purpose" drive, which showed support to the Families First Domestic & Sexual Violence Shelter.
👜 During the process of this amazing project, we were able to donate 20 purses packed with essential items, as well as donating additional items to the shelter.
👜 The items that we packed in each purse included:
Toothbrush & Toothpaste, Body wash/soap, Shampoo & Conditioner, Deodarant, Comb, Hair ties & bobby pins, Feminine Hygiene Items, First Aid Kit, Hand sanitizer, Hand wipes, Tissue, Razor, Nail Brush, Chapstick, Notepad w/ pen & pencil, Granola Bar, Gum, a personal pocket sized Bible (donated by individuals from the Baptist Association), as well as a Special gift and a safety keychain with an emergency whistle & flash light for each purse! We also included a personalized, encouraging note for each purse! 🫶
