Thank you to our wonderful donors, volunteers, partner agencies, school partners, special event partners, board of directors, and last but not least, our dedicated and passionate staff for all that they have done in 2024 to help us feed our neighbors in need. Distributing over 88 million pounds of food is not an easy task, but with the help of each of you, we did in FY2023-2024. We know that together we CAN reach more of our neighbors in need and will strive for our mission to end hunger for all that we serve. Happy New Year! #shmetrolina #endhunger
