Supporting Harvest Hope Food Bank

Each year Palmetto Citizens collects monetary and food donations to assist our local food bank and our neighbors in need.

To support Harvest Hope Food Bank and our neighbors in need, we're accepting donations through a Virtual Food Drive as well as at each of our 14 Midlands branches through November 29th.

When you make a monetary donation to Harvest Hope, your dollars are stretched further and you are able to help more people in need within our community.

• $1 provides 4 meals.
• $17 will feed a family for a week.
• $30 will feed a child for a month through their BackPack Program.
• $50 provides 200 meals.

In addition to monetary donations, you can also drop off any non-perishable food or personal care item donation(s) to any of our branches through November 29th. Review Harvest Hope's list of most needed items.

About Harvest Hope

The mission of the Harvest Hope Food Bank is to provide for the needs of hungry people by gathering and sharing quality food with dignity, compassion and education. Harvest Hope collects, stores and distributes food and related items that assist families and children throughout 20 counties in central South Carolina.

Donations to Harvest Hope are tax-deductible, and 98¢ of every dollar received goes directly to feeding hungry families in our area. Harvest Hope does not foster a culture of dependency. Typically, if they can feed a family for three months in succession, it gets them through their crisis and they are able to be self-sufficient after that. During those three months, Harvest Hope frees them from worrying about food so that they can concentrate on the other things they need to do to get themselves out of their own financial difficulty.
