Find the Charleston Basket Brigade on Pushlocal!

The Charleston Basket Brigade is committed to uniting the community by feeding local families in-need on Thanksgiving, and because we want to share our mission with new faces and easily update our supporters, we have joined a really wonderful new app called Pushlocal.

Pushlocal is a mobile, local community app that connects an organization to its fans, followers, and supporters by sharing updates, photos, and messages through push notifications and directly onto our Facebook and Twitter pages.

We are very excited to use this new platform to connect with you all, our community! To follow us, simply download the Pushlocal app on your phone and search for Charleston. You’ll see the Charleston Basket Brigade pop right up! Hint: It’s also a really great app to download for local deals, events, and specials throughout Charleston!

CBB Co-Founder Appears on Lowcountry Live This Morning November 8, 2013

Did you catch one of our co-founders Pam Hartley on WCIV’s Lowcountry Live morning show today? She was encouraging folks to donate and sign up to volunteer for the Charleston Basket Brigade.

WCIV Lowcountry Live reporter Jon Bruce interviewed CBB Co-Founder Pam Hartley

We are on a mission to raise $100,000 to feed over 3,000 Charleston Tri-County families for Thanksgiving this year. There is only 18 more days until the brigade and we need your help!

It only takes $30 to feed and entire family and every single penny you donate will go towards purchasing that family everything they need to cook the perfect Thanksgiving meal.

Then on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, November 26 we need volunteers to come out to the Charleston Area Convention Center Exhibit Hall A at 7:00 am to help us assemble meals and then hand deliver the meals to the families shortly after.

When a community comes together to make a difference, magic happens. Help us make magic and feed our neighbors in need!

We are thrilled to announce that The Coastal Cupboard raised over $2,400 for the Charleston Basket Brigade during the store’s Semi-Annual Charity Knife Sharpening Event this past weekend from November 1-3, 2013.

The store hosted Knife Demos during the event in addition to sharpening knives!

For just $1 per knife guests got their knives professionally sharpened where every dollar benefited the CBB. That’s a lot of knives!

It only takes $30 to feed a an entire family and The Coastal Cupboard raised enough money to feed over 73 families this Thanksgiving!

We are sending a huge THANK YOU to The Coastal Cupboard family for making The Charleston Basket Brigade the beneficiary of their Charity Knife Sharpening Event. The Coastal Cupboard truly is the most beloved kitchen store in town – and for good reason!

We also want to send a special thanks to Doc Crombie’s BBQ Sauce for donating a $1 for every bottle of sauce sold at the event. Thanks, Doc!

Guests that made additional donations entered a Charity Raffle to win great culinary prizes!

Guests also entered a Charity Raffle to win great culinary prizes like cutlery, chopping boards, and cooking classes!

Every knife sharpened will make a huge difference for so many families here in Charleston this Thanksgiving. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!
