Thank you to CLARK Material Handling Company and Cynthia Barnes for including BC3 in this year's Community Fair. ?? CLARK's team members are encouraged and empowered to volunteer in the community regularly, and we were thrilled to share that BC3 is a one-stop shop they can use when looking for opportunities! Full-circle (and fun!) experience for us as CLARK was one of the initial sponsors to launch the site, and so many of the nonprofits in the room are BC3 partners! ? ?? ??
