CB Outreach leaders outline services as WKSR auction raises funds for foster‑family wrap closet and community programs

Pulaski — During the live WKSR Community Radio Auction, CB Outreach board member Andrew said the nonprofit uses auction proceeds to support a set of community programs, including the Wrap Closet for foster families, free weekly meals, back‑to‑school haircuts and an annual 'Night of Joy' event.

"CB exists really to love this community," Andrew said on air, summarizing the outreach group's mission and explaining how donated funds remain in Giles County to meet local needs. He described the Wrap Closet as a resource providing practical items to foster families at no charge and noted CB’s work with volunteers to organize donations, distribute clothing and run family events.

Hosts and board members emphasized how the auction’s proceeds will support existing services: volunteer‑run back‑to‑school haircut nights (which served roughly 60–70 children this year), foster‑care forums, a Veterans Day appreciation event and planned youth tutoring and counseling initiatives. Organizers said volunteers and local businesses provide donated items and in‑kind support that make the auction possible.

CB Outreach representatives asked successful bidders to pick up items at the CB Outreach Building, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. through Wednesday, and said buyers may pay by cash, Venmo or check. The host stressed that all money raised stays local and directly supports programs serving Giles County residents.

Provenance: Andrew’s remarks identifying CB Outreach programs appear in mid‑transcript; hosts repeated pickup and payment instructions and confirmed the auction's final totals on air.

What’s next: Organizers said they will record final accounting with CB Outreach and thanked local donors and volunteers for their contributions to the record fundraising result.
