🎁Hard to believe the holiday season is already here! We are getting in the holiday spirit and preparing for our Annual Toy Drive 😊

🎄As in years past, we are partnering with Pelican's Perch Bar & Grill, Brunswick County Department of Social Services, and other OIB businesses to collect new/unwrapped toys for families in need this Christmas.

🎁Will you please consider donating what you can? We will be accepting gifts from November 2 – December 11, 2026, at OIB Town Hall (111 Causeway Drive).

🎄We have so much to be thankful for...including the opportunity to bless others. If you have any questions, please call 910-579-2166 or email [email protected]
