How We Do It
We are a 100% volunteer organization. Every cent we receive goes toward our mission of feeding the 1 in 5 people in South Carolina who cannot afford enough food for their families. We travel the entire state acquiring meat and then transporting it to state approved processors which we pay for. We also certify that all of our meat is legally harvested.
Currently we distribute meat to 39 nonprofit organizations who in turn help feed over 15,000 people annually. We also support 150 families at our facility in Pacolet with a monthly give away. We use United Way’s Charity Tracker to insure the integrity of our program. We also supply these families in addition to the meat, groceries, paper products and cleaning supplies. Finally, we help all families caught in natural disasters and emergencies with food available at our facility.
Our Mission
“One in seven adults in South Carolina suffer from some level of food insecurity”
The primary objective of South Carolina Hunters and Landowners for the Hungry is to help provide food for needy people and non-profit organizations that support our same goal.
We are a 100% volunteer organization and all our funding goes to the clients we serve.
Our Goals
- Provide a high-protein food source to those in need locally here in South Carolina.
- Increase our partnership capacity with new and existing processors, food banks, and social organizations.
- Minimize the waste of a natural resource.
- Decrease the burden associated with distributing meat from processors to their local communities.
Giving History
Over the years our Hunter partners have put a lot of food on the tables of hungry South Carolina families.
In our first year, over 10,000 pounds of meat were donated. In 2017, over 60,000 pounds of meat were donated.
In addition, we deliver over 50,000 pounds of perishable and non perishable food staples along with household and personal hygiene items each year.
