Child Feeding - Our BackPack Program logo
The BackPack Program provides nutritious, child-friendly, and easy to prepare food to children in need. Backpacks are distributed discreetly on Fridays, or the last day children attend school for the week to ensure they have food at home to continue to grow and thrive. Each child's backpack is filled with enough food for dinner on Friday, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks on Saturday and Sunday.

For the school year, Harvest Hope will partner with schools to help provide students with over 440,000 backpacks of meals.

Please help provide nutritious meals to these children so they can learn in school and help shape them for the future.

The need is critical please don't let these children go hungry.

In Support of Harvest Hope Food Bank
Harvest Hope is South Carolina’s largest food bank, providing over 20 million meals on average to neighbors in need across the Midlands, Pee Dee and Upstate. 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. 

Harvest Hope began in 1981 as the result of a shared vision of business leaders and the faith community, who set out to provide for the hungry in Columbia. Since then, Harvest Hope has increased its mission to feed the hungry across 20 counties in South Carolina.
