$32,500 Donated to Harvest Hope Food Bank

Each year Palmetto Citizens collects monetary and food donations to assist our local food bank and our neighbors in need.

Since 2002, Palmetto Citizens has been a proud supporter of our local food bank and the amazing work they do throughout our communities. This year, the Palmetto Citizens Foundation was able to donate $32,500 to this important cause.

Over the last 23 years, we've donated over $280,000 to Harvest Hope on behalf of our members and associates!

Thank you to each of our Foundation members, credit union members, and members of our team who've made these donations possible!

About Harvest Hope

The mission of the Harvest Hope Food Bank is to provide for the needs of hungry people by gathering and sharing quality food with dignity, compassion and education. Harvest Hope collects, stores and distributes food and related items that assist families and children throughout 20 counties in central South Carolina.

Donations to Harvest Hope are tax-deductible, and 98¢ of every dollar received goes directly to feeding hungry families in our area. Harvest Hope does not foster a culture of dependency. Typically, if they can feed a family for three months in succession, it gets them through their crisis and they are able to be self-sufficient after that. During those three months, Harvest Hope frees them from worrying about food so that they can concentrate on the other things they need to do to get themselves out of their own financial difficulty.
