The Sea Islands Hunger Awareness Foundation is very grateful to the Seabrook Island community and to The Lake House staff for collecting and organizing the Harris Teeter bags used for the past several years to distribute food to the clients of the Blessing Basket. It is estimated that close to 20,000 bags have been contributed, which have been filled with groceries, fresh produce, meat, eggs and other items to benefit our neighbors on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands.
Harris Teeter recently changed the size of its bags and, unfortunately, the new bags are not sufficient for our food distributions. Therefore, we are discontinuing the bag collection process, effective immediately. We do have an inventory of bags that will last through May of 2025 and alternate arrangements are being made to secure the bags needed for subsequent distributions.
Thank you very much for your support in the past and we hope you will continue to support SIHAF and the Blessing Basket in other ways, through volunteering and donations, as the need and our work continues.
