The generosity of the Ocean Ridge community has enabled Ocean Ridge Charities Association (ORCA) to donate a record breaking $12,750 to Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation (BEMC) for their annual Warm Homes Warm Hearts program. This money will be DOUBLED by BEMC, to become $25,500 for distribution throughout the community. By agreement with BEMC, ORCA’s contribution will be used in Brunswick County.

​

Mary Perno and Judy Cunningham, co-chairs of the ORCA Fundraising committee, have already presented the check to BEMC.

​

The Warm Homes Warm Hearts program provides year round utility assistance to seniors and families in need. The Ocean Ridge community is one of the top contributors to this program.
