Beyond the Blue Box

Beyond the Blue Box Beyond the Blue Box is a registered Charity. We have been in operation since 1992. One hundred families were assisted through referrals of local agencies.

Founded in 1992, with the twin objectives of diverting waste and offering developmentally challenged individuals work opportunities, BBB has blossomed into an environmental success story and surpassed every criterion its founders set. Today, more than a million pounds of waste is diverted from our landfills every year. From one paid staff person, we now employ 11 full-time staff. 9 part-time and

provide work experience for 25 developmentally challenged individuals; of whom
five are full-time, five are part time and five are high school students. Over 29 years, in close co-operation with the West Northumberland Community Living, we have helped more than 60 people participate in a work environment. We have also helped hundreds of young people perform community service under the Community Probation Services program since 2000. . This past year BBB continued its practice of helping fire victims and women establishing new homes with household items.

Fisher Construction continues to move us forward! Today, concrete is being poured into the ICF walls, and we truly couldn’t be happier watching our rebuild take shape.
After everything we’ve been through, seeing this progress means so much to our team, volunteers, supporters, and the community that has stood beside us every step of the way.
Soon, Beyond the Blue Box will once again be fully operational — allowing us to return 100% of our proceeds directly back into the community we have proudly served for 34 years.
Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and helping us rebuild stronger than ever. 💙

We are still at a substantial shortfall after insurance paid to have the building reconstructed. The retaining wall and other unforeseen expenditures are coming in at approximately 950,000.00.
If you are able to help at all, we certainly would appreciate that!

Things are looking amazing!!!!

Sorting out all of the boxed items to decide which are the best examples that should go on display. As you can see there is significant duplication in some cases. Time to thin the collection a little.
