Hatteras Island is home to a wealth of nonprofit organizations that do a world of good for the local community, but the new-in-2023 Outer Banks Buddies is providing a new kind of service for residents, modeled after the national “Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America” program.
The way the program works is simple. Kids and elderly residents will be paired with a buddy for a season, (or approximately three months), and will spend at least an hour per week together, discovering new activities. Outer Banks Buddies plans to host some of these outings, like a planned pizza party at Angelo’s Pizza in Buxton, and will also provide insight into the numerous events that regularly occur on the island.
