Outback Give Back – Donate, Mate!
There’s never been a better time to stop by your local Outback Steakhouse! And The Blood Connection is giving you an easy way to eat for FREE.
For the entire month of August, TBC and Outback Steakhouse are working together to spread the word about blood donation. Partnerships like this are essential to the community’s blood supply. Outback Steakhouse’s enthusiasm to partner with TBC has helped the blood center reach new donors and save more lives!
The Outback Give Back Promotion runs August 1st – August 29th. Donors who give blood at any TBC center on any Thursday will receive a $20 Outback gift card and a free Bloomin’ Onion ® coupon. To find a center near you, click here.
On August 29th, 18 Outback Steakhouse locations will host a blood mobile for a collective blood drive at the same time, 2-7 P.M. Blood donors will receive a $20 Outback gift card and a free Bloomin’ Onion® coupon. After donating, they can walk right in and enjoy a free dinner at Outback, a thank you for saving lives!
Donors can visit any TBC center in the Upstate of South Carolina, and Raleigh and Asheville in North Carolina: 435 Woodruff Road, Greenville, SC; 341 Old Abbeville Highway, Greenwood, SC; 5116 Calhoun Memorial Hwy, Easley, SC; 1308 Sandifer Boulevard, Seneca, SC; 270 North Grove Medical Park Drive, Spartanburg, SC; 225 Airport Road, Arden, NC; 5925 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC. Centers are open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on the weekends 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ensuring equity in education is truly a social justice issue. In addition to the shocking national and local literacy statistics, one of our greatest concerns is the growing disparity in achievement in local schools. We are committed to training as many new tutors as possible this fall so they can each keep a child from becoming one of these statistics.
Please join us! If you’d like to change a child’s life in the new school year, contact Rebecca to enroll in the Youth Literacy training this September. Check out our training dates here.
Hello!
Greetings Volunteers,
We are gearing up for our August 16th Downtown After 5 with The Artisanals, The National Reserve and Emma’s Lounge. We are still in need of volunteers for our set up shift and 2nd shifts (remember 2nd shifts get 2 credits, and to receive VIP access to our end of year party a late shift is required). Please share our sign up page and help us spread the word with local friends and businesses.
We are winding down our Downtown After 5 series and we are so appreciative of everyone’s support and time to help us make these events successful.
See you next Friday,
Jessica and Meghan
From Buncombe County Libraries:
Do you love to read? Do you like children? The Buncombe County Public Library’s Preschool Outreach Project (POP) is currently looking for volunteers. POP is an outreach service of the library, a program designed to bring the joy and excitement of books to children in child care centers. Our volunteers offer stories, songs, puppets and smiles to our youngest book lovers – children under the age of 5.
No formal experience is needed, just a strong commitment to both children and reading. Most volunteers spend approximately five hours per month on POP, reading twice a month at their assigned center. We ask that volunteers commit to participate with our program for one full school year. All story time materials are provided by the library.
All POP volunteers must participate in story time training and submit to a background check. The next training is Monday, Aug. 26.
Interested volunteers must complete a volunteer application before Aug. 19. Applications can be filled out here.

Join instructor Darleen Benson as she leads a 6-week series of chair yoga classes geared specifically towards seniors.
A yoga teacher with almost 40 years of experience, Darleen will lead the class in a beginner friendly routine designed to increase strength, flexibility, and balance. Participants will learn natural body postures that fight pain and promote mobility.
This program is free and open to the public.
Give us 2-4 hours. Enjoy a day of music and memories — and the knowledge that you helped to bring a community together! You’ll also get a little swag: a 11th Annual Festival Tee Shirt, snacks, a drink ticket, and our new Blue Ridge Pride Center buttons and stickers. Volunteer roles include: setup and breakdown, selling wristbands, beverages or merchandise, and assisting with volunteer check-in or VIP. Learn more and sign up here.

Learn the fundamentals of Pilates, or for those who are already experienced, deepen your practice in this mixed level class. Pilates is a whole body workout where we find strength, stretch, and control. Alexis will target the level of class to who is there, so everyone is equally challenged. Pilates is for every BODY…no matter your age, gender, or physical ability.
Bring your own mat (a thick mat is better if you have one), a small towel, and a water bottle. The library has a few mats available to borrow.
