The BBRC Community Connect Card is redeemable only at local businesses in Birmingham, so it suits someone who lives in or regularly visits the area. A grandparent who visits now and then can spend it on this trip. Unused balances can incur inactivity fees: a $3.00 fee will be deducted monthly starting on the 1st day after 12 consecutive months without card usage.
Choose an amount, add a note, and send it by email, or print it to hand over in person. Nothing ships.
