The Sea Islands Hunger Awareness Foundation (SIHAF) is delighted to announce that our generous donors have met our $200,000 Matching Challenge and have once again surpassed the goal with a grand total of $290,350.00! This includes all contributions, October 1 through December 31, 2023, to the Foundation in support of its fourteen (14) programs and partners.
We appreciate all who gave with your heart and contributed to meet and surpass the 2023-24 SIHAF Hunger Awareness Challenge, making it possible for us to provide healthy food one meal at a time and clean water. It means so much to so many!
It means that:
- We can grant more funds to our local programs and partner organizations that serve our more than 2,500 neighbors on Johns and Wadmalaw. We can fight hunger by providing meals, groceries, and special programs to those families in need.
- We can provide microwave ovens, stoves, and refrigerators to those who do not have one so that they can cook and store the food.
- SIHAF’s Water Wellness Mission can provide water wells to the homes of those who lack clean water and assure that those wells and filtration systems will be maintained.
- SIHAF’s all-volunteer team can continue to serve our neighbors efficiently and effectively. As reported by the South Carolina Secretary of State, 98.8% of all donations to SIHAF go directly to its mission of feeding the hungry and providing clean water to those in need.
Our sincere thanks to all our loyal donors who continue their generous support of SIHAF, its programs and partners throughout the year through planned or annual giving, grants and other gifts.
