Hunger is a problem affecting the elderly and the young, the healthy and the sick. Harvest Hope and its member agencies work with people in need from all walks of life. From parents working minimum wage jobs struggling to put food on the table, to retired couples who have trouble paying for expensive medications, hunger is a reality for a growing number of South Carolinians.
The South Carolina State Library, in partnership with Harvest Hope Food Bank, is holding a fall food drive November 15 through November 24.
Visitors to the library are encouraged to bring the following items:
• Canned vegetables
• Canned meats
• Dry goods (mashed potatoes, oatmeal, grits, etc.)
• Peanut butter
• Beans
• Toiletries
• Diapers
• Detergent
• Plastic/paper bags
Please help support the food bank by visiting one of the South Carolina State Library's locations at 1430 or 1500 Senate Street (corners of Senate and Bull Streets) and bring in your much needed food donation.
