Mission
HARVEST HOPE IS ON A MISSION TO ELIMINATE HUNGER AND FOOD INSECURITY IN SOUTH CAROLINA. WE RESCUE NUTRITIOUS FOOD FROM STORES THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND DISTRIBUTE IT TO FOOD PANTRIES, SHELTERS, AND SOUP KITCHENS. WE OPERATE PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE FOOD FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE CITIZENS: CHILDREN, SENIORS, AND RURAL RESIDENTS WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO GROCERY STORES. WE ALSO RUN OUR OWN EMERGENCY FOOD PANTRIES IN GREENVILLE AND COLUMBIA, WHERE ANYONE IN NEED CAN GET A WEEK'S SUPPLY OF GROCERIES FOR FREE.
