Volunteer Spotlight- We would like to use this opportunity to highlight one of our many
volunteers. We are proud to have Jay Boulter (pictured) serving with us. He is a hands-on
volunteer who goes above and beyond daily to serve those in need. Jay loads up his truck
and delivers street and house boxes all over Brunswick County. In 2025 74 house boxes were
delivered. A house box is set up for families that have a kitchen available but limited
resources. In addition, 59 street boxes were delivered. A street box is set up for those who do
not have a kitchen and are supplied with ready to eat meals and often camping utensils.
That’s a total of 133 deliveries! The boxes all try to cover the 5 major food groups and 1 street
box can save someone or be equivalent to $60-$80 dollars in groceries. Not only does Jay
deliver boxes, but he also brings blankets, sleeping bags and other necessities when
available. Jay truly delivers from the heart-he is a listening ear and a kind voice of reason
when people are struggling.
