I've volunteered with Buffer Charity for a few years before becoming a Board Member. The generosity, work ethics and overall willingness to help others is heartwarming and a true service of love. It is truly a blessing working with the CEO's Jennifer & Eric Warren serving others.

Buffer Charity does such amazing things: book bag giveaways, assisting women & children, and so much more. The best part is, each member and volunteer enjoys serving the community, it's not just about the accolades.

Thank you Buffer Charity for all that you’ve done in the Mt. Pleasant Community. You’re truly making an impact in the various households and families that benefit from your charity work!

Thank you being supportive today as we received bottle water while walking in the parade!!! That came handy as we all were extremely hot.

I look forward to your annual Bookbag rally and support at AJ Rickoff Elementary School!!! The free haircuts for the youth is always something special for the parents…this helps.

My Grandson has 4 kids. He was out of work due to an injury and couldn't afford school supplies. We attended Buffer Charity's Book Bag Rally. His kids all received book bags filled with everything they needed and then some. The kids also enjoyed all the food, fun and games Buffer Charity supplied for free.

Several times Buffer Charity has blessed Senior Citizens with 100 hundred dollar shopping sprees at the local grocery store, I have had the pleasure each time of going and helping them shop…each time was very enjoyable and rewarding not only in helping them out but also giving back to the Community that I also grew up in…!

I brought my grandkids to the book bag rally last year and it was amazing. The kids painted a picture, picked out many books, played games and ate. At the end, they were given a book bag to start the year. Thank you Buffer Charity

Buffer Charity is gaining notoriety for the MANY ways it continues to impact lives of residents in the Mt. Pleasant community. From its inception as a 'blessing bag' assembly line operating out of the founder's dining room, to a registered non-profit, Buffer Charity's outreach leaves huge footprints throughout the region. Projects touch the lives of the unsheltered, poorly sheltered & temporarily sheltered. Programs are in place to help pregnant women obtain prenatal & postpartum care, school children get free backpacks filled with school supplies, events are designed to promote communication and Buffer Charity continues to serve as a link to connect residents with a multitude of community agencies. If you're thinking about donating to a charity that will put your dollars to good use, contact Buffer Charity - their good work yields the best interest on your investment!

Looking back over 16+ years as a donor/volunteer with Buffer Charity, I marvel at how the idea of giving out 50 'Blessing Bags' (zip lock bags containing a pair of socks, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a few snacks) to homeless men has morphed into a non-profit that now assists thousands of individuals each year. Those small bags turned into hygiene bags which turned into backpacks of hygiene products, hats, gloves, socks, snacks, and emergency help information cards distributed at shelters, bus stops, and under downtown bridges. Buffer currently hosts community outreach events throughout the year, addressing health care, nutrition, and literacy. Partnering with local organizations the non-profit has helped turn condemned properties into beautiful gardens complete with reading benches and Little Libraries. The annual Back-To-School Fest provides a fun day of food, games, free books & haircuts, and sturdy bookbags filled with mandated school supplies. It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Check out the pics on Buffer Charity's web site - they're worth millions!

Buffer Charity is, and has been committed to serving the community either by providing meals, giving away clothes, toiletries and other essential items to those in need, as well as hosting such amazing events such as their Annual Back-To-School Backpack Giveaway.
The effort, time, energy they put into this event is pretty amazing to experience. I've had the opportunity to assist with this event over the last few years and each time, it does my heart proud to be connected to such an inspiring nonprofit organization.
There are so many families who have to send their kids to school with the bare minimum but Buffer Charity sees to it that these kids go back to school without not only a backpack, but everything they need inside of it to be successful. I am so incredibly proud of the work they continue to do for the community, not only as it relates to the back to school event, but everything they do throughout the year, year over year.

Buffer Charity is an amazing organization. Their annual Book Bag giveaway makes a huge impact on the Mount Pleasant Community which it serves. Not only did they provide bookbags filled with supplies but a afternoon filled with fun activities , free hair cuts and so much more. Buffer Charity is truly an asset to the community it serves.

Buffer Charity is a true blessing to this community by hosting its Annual Backpack Giveaway and other community based events. The Backpack Giveaway provides the needed supplies for youth going back to school while doing it in a manner that's enjoyable. The children enjoy the free backpacks, supplies, food, games, and the parents can rest knowing that they don't have to worry about how they were going to buy the bags and supplies. Kudos to this great organization for which I serve as a Board Member.

Jennifer warren is the woman behind the scene for Buffer Chariyy. Her creativeness and generosity in serving others from all walks of life is unparalleled. From her feeding members of the community to the book bag rally, this truly a charity which provides a variety of services for all mankind. As an aside she's an amazing cook.

It was a pleasure to set up tents, tables prior to the Board Members arriving to prepare their areas. Buffer Charity has been doing this rally now for 5 years and this is the first year we feel the community was truly served.. They noticed the tents being built and asked what was happening. Told, the neighbors brought their children back for a day of fun… Yes! Setting up tents and tables worked. along with pre-registration.. Please check out Buffer Charity on Facebook, as our website is in the works, to see great pictures of our events.

We still need help with supplies, books, volunteering and donations, so if you have free time in August, give us a call or email.

Fun, fun, fun… For the community and any child or parent that wanted to attend. Start putting up tents at 7 am and the neighbors noticed. As they noticed, they wanted to know what was happening. We told them. They went back home, running their errands, etc, but came back and enjoyed. We were totally pleased at the number of kids and adults that attended and the event. We definitely served the people we worked hard to get the supplies for…. Next year with supply issues it will be even harder.

Attended their Book Bag Rally in August and the kids had do much fun. They had cupcake decorating, a basket bag hoop, free hair cuts, many games and books and when it was all over, a very nice book bag for the kids. This organization has been doing this for awhile for the neighborhood and we appreciate them. Thank you Buffer Charity.

I became a volunteer worker for Buffer Charity as a favor to my mom. Once there, I have wanted to do more to help Buffer Charity to succeed. The projects and events that are being done within the community is very much needed. Their recent 2021 Back-to-School Bookbag Rally was a success.

I enjoy volunteering for the Buffer Charity, non-profit organization. Everything that they plan/organize and present for the children/families within the Mt. Pleasant/Cleveland community is worth every effort, supportive and truly successful. Recently their 2021 Back-to-School Bookbag Rally was another successful event. The day was filled with excitement, variety of activities, entertainment and giveaways to families that were
truly appreciative. This particular event has grown over the past three years that I have been a volunteer for Buffer Charity. One goal that I have set for myself is to help more to find additional fundraising opportunities for Buffer Charity so that they are able to reach more children/families. I am very appreciative and grateful to the Buffer Charity Board Members, the countless volunteers that give their time, talents and presence to come out time and time again to support Buffer Charity and the community that is being served through events/projects.
