Nationally
As a member of Feeding America, Harvest Hope is actively involved in responding to disasters that affect member food banks. Harvest Hope works in partnership with the national office to ensure that our response is tailored to the specific needs of affected communities. From fundraising locally to shipping needed supplies from our warehouse, we are committed to relief efforts as long as the need persists.
- In September of 2005, Harvest Hope provided over 40,000 pounds of food to food banks damaged by Hurricane Katrina and 16,000 pounds of food to Katrina evacuees who relocated to South Carolina.
For more information on Disaster Relief at Harvest Hope, please contact Bill Shinn (803) 254-4432, Ext. 1105.
Statewide
Harvest Hope Food Bank plays a vital role in responding to emergencies that impact South Carolina and our nation. As one of four food banks in the South Carolina Food Bank Association, Harvest Hope provides millions of pounds of food to hundreds of food assistance programs throughout 20 counties in the state. This creates the potential for Harvest Hope to provide significant aid to people affected by disasters. By coupling the Food Bank's expertise and efficiency in food distribution with the capabilities of the South Carolina Emergency Management Division, SC Department of Social Services, the Seventh Day Adventist, and the Red Cross's in responding to disasters, these organizations are prepared to deliver nourishing food, water and supplies quickly to South Carolinians affected by crises including terrorist acts.
