Bailey’s Fine Jewelry’s A Time to Give Program Raises More than $84,000
Bailey’s Fine Jewelry donated $84,269.89 to local charities in 2021 through the jeweler’s A Time to Give program, the most in program history, even during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A Time to Give was created by the Bailey family as a way to give back to the local community, while providing watch battery replacements to patrons.
A Time to Give provides customers with a complimentary watch battery replacement and in exchange requests a donation be made to that month’s designated charity. Each month Bailey’s selects a different non-profit organization to receive the donations from A Time to Give.
Since its inception in 2008, Bailey’s has donated more than $905,000 to the communities where Bailey’s stores are located (Raleigh, Rocky Mount and Greenville) through A Time to Give.
A Time to Give is one of the unique ways in which Bailey’s demonstrates its dedication to serve the surrounding communities, as well as providing a service to its patrons. Bailey’s is a store steeped in family tradition that strives to bring a fun-loving approach to the jewelry business.
“Our family is so blessed to live and work in such amazing communities in North Carolina and it’s an honor to be able to give back to them,” said Trey Bailey of Bailey’s Fine Jewelry. “Our patrons showed up in a huge way last year, making 2021 A Time to Give’s most successful year yet. We’re thrilled to be able to donate to some incredible organizations doing truly impactful work every day.”
In 2021, Bailey’s donated through A Time to Give to various North Carolina chapters of charities, including: American Heart Association, Relay for Life, A Place at the Table, United Community Ministries, Operation Resolute, Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels, Operation Christmas Child and more.

TheBeltlineBuzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on TheBeltlineBuzz. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of TheBeltlineBuzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" emails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: " TheBeltlineBuzz Dedicated Email." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it.
