Volunteer Opportunities with
Bynum Front Porch

Bynum Front Porch is a 100% volunteer organization. Our mission is to preserve the history, identity and supportive atmosphere of the village of Bynum. Bynum Front Porch is a community-funded, 501(c)(3) non-profit venture!

We maintain the Bynum General Store and grounds as a community center and a performance venue. We produce music and storytelling shows throughout the year. We host workshops, jam sessions and Scouts. We offer the store to individuals and other non-profits for gatherings. We give $1000 educational grants to three Chatham County students who are the first in their families to go to college.
