The OC
One of Britney’s favorite shows growing up was The OC, so fittingly Be Like Brit’s Operation Center has become known as “The OC.” We are located at 66 Pullman Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Originally, Be Like Brit’s headquarters was the kitchen table at the Gengel’s home in Holden, but thanks to dedicated supporters, The OC is now a fully equipped office that enhances Be Like Brit's ability to continue Britney’s compassion.
Capabilities
The OC allows Be Like Brit to further strengthen the relationship with the local US community, collaborate with volunteers, communicate with Brit's Home in Haiti, store donated items in the 1,100 square foot warehouse, and utilize the four offices, volunteer room and conference room to effectively run the internal operations.
Special Thanks
Be Like Brit sincerely thanks Doug and LeeAnn Peterson and The George F. and Sybil H. Fuller Foundation, the local Government (for their compassion) and all of the committed supporters listed below in our “Hall of Fame”. Doug and LeeAnn donated the building to Be Like Brit, The George F. and Sybil H. Fuller Foundation awarded us a grant to complete construction, and the US Government provided endless support. Without these individuals and institutions, the Operation Center would have never been possible!
