The South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD) is committed to keeping our communities strong—before, during, and after disaster strikes. Through the Ready, Resilient, and Responsive Virtual Food Drive, we’re extending that mission beyond emergency response to help fight hunger across South Carolina.
Join us in supporting families in need by providing essential food items that help build resilience in every community. Together, we can ensure that when challenges arise, no South Carolinian faces them on an empty stomach. Every donation strengthens our state’s readiness and reinforces our shared commitment to being ready, relevant, resilient, and responsive.
In Support of Harvest Hope Food Bank
Harvest Hope is South Carolina’s largest food bank, providing over 25 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.
