Giving Projects

Giving back to the community is an important part of our mission. Throughout the year we host multiple giving projects to benefit charitable, community, and/or public service organizations. We invite guests and employees to participate. Below you can find information about projects we’re working on and how you can help!

Hero Boxes

We are partnering with Blue Star Mothers of Coastal Carolina for the Hero Boxes Project. Blue Star Mothers are parents who have children serving in the United States Armed Forces. This non profit, non-sectarian, non political organization serves to support one another, provide support to our troops and promote patriotism in our community. Hero Boxes are shipped to active duty service members 4 to 5 times per year.

Read Across America Book Drive

The mission of this project is to help promote literacy. In celebration of Dr. Seuss’ Birthday and Read Across America Day, we collect new books at to be delivered by our mascot, Patch, to a local classroom. We started this project in 2011 and have delivered over 350 books to various classrooms and schools.

We usually collect books in January and February to be delivered the first week in March. If you would like to donate a book, please bring it by the front office.
