volunteer and donation opportunity
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
On December 22nd Favor Foundation held it's 1st annual
"Be A Blessing" Outreach in the Chicora/Cherokee neighborhoods of North Charleston at the Gussie Green Community Center. We blessed this community with hot food, bags of groceries, clothes and a wellness check. Thank you to all the volunteers, donations and donation drives sponsored through several local businesses! We were able to feed over 200 Veterans, homeless and under served individuals.
Favor Foundation will be holding pop ups around the Charleston and Summerville area throughout the year in order to distribute backpacks of hope to our homeless.
Our next backpack of hope outreach is in the Summerville/Ladson area in April 2019. Volunteers are asked to contact Favor Foundation directly for further information regarding the backpack distributions as we are meeting the need in the field and not necessarily as a central location.
We will be providing non perishable can goods, toiletries, a list of resources nearby and a hot meal to those that we encounter.
We need the communities support by way of helping us collect non perishable can goods with pop tops, peanut butter/cheese crackers, water and toiletries. Please see a specific list of needs below. If you would like to sponsor a back pack with food, socks, toiletries and donate it, we will distribute it. We also have a supplier working with us to provide the back packs at $70 for a case of 48. Let us know if you want to be a backpack sponsor, the more we purchase the cheaper the per price!
We expect to provide over 300 backpacks to homeless individuals in the Charleston area over the remainder of the year. Will you help?
