THIS WEEK'S FEATURED EVENTS!
PORCH Food Drive
oct. 12-16
Help out your local neighbors in need! PORCH of South Brunswick County's October food drive runs from Saturday (10/12) — Wednesday (10/16).
As all eyes are on western NC's storm damage, lets not forget those in our area who lost homes and belongings in last month's unnamed tropical storm. Your food donations will help support them and others who struggle with food insecurity.
Donation drop-offs are located through SJP, so it's a convenient way to make a big difference!
SJ Photo Club Meeting
oct. 14
Learn how to take the perfect portrait during the St. James Photo Club's next meeting on Monday (10/14). There, a local photographer will demonstrate everything that goes into portrait planning and set up.
Club members will also share their photos on the theme, "Events and Festivals," and discuss opportunities to share their talents in upcoming photo contests.
The St. James Photo Club is open to people of all skill levels.
