Host A Drive

Host a Drive or Event

Hosting a drive or an event benefitting Bluffton Self Help is a great way to get the whole family, group, or neighborhood involved in giving back!

Organize and promote a donation drive or simple event within your school, church, or community group.

 

School Snack Drive

Please help us stock all 10 School Snack Closets with healthy snacks to get students through the school year and important testing.

Check out the Amazon wish list of items most requested by local schools or download the flyer below.

 

Market Most Needed Items

Help end hunger in the Lowcountry.

We need the help of our community to stock The Market shelves.

Host a Drive

Bluffton Self Help relies on community support to fill the need in the community. There are a variety of different drives throughout the year to help stock The Market shelves with healthy or holiday groceries, hygiene items, cleaning supplies, diapers, toys, school snacks, or teacher supplies.

 

Hosting a drive is a great way for students to give back. Looking for volunteer hours for school or a project? Track the hours you spend planning, promoting, and collecting your donation drive and we can provide signed documentation of the hours you spent on the donation drive.

The How-to Guide

Our How-To Guide is full of information and fun ideas to help you plan, promote and get the most out of your drive or event. After you register, read our guide to learn how to set goals and rally your supporters.

Most Needed Food Items

When filling your boxes/bags, we ask that you only gather items that you would eat or use yourself. Please check that items are unopened and still within their “use before” date.

Get the Word Out

Share your drive or event on social media, NextDoor, via email or hang up printed posters in high traffic areas at your business or in your neighborhood. Check out these printable flyers to post. Don’t forget to tag us on social media!

Schedule Donation Drop-off or Pick-up

Donations are accepted Monday-Friday 10am-4pm at 39 Sheridan Park Circle. If you feel your drive will be collecting over 500lbs we are happy to come pick-up items in our Mobile Market.

Host an Event

When you host an event or organize a fundraiser to support Bluffton Self Help, not only are you supporting Lowcountry neighbors, you are also helping to share our mission with the community. Everyone who attends your event will be able to learn about what we do to move neighbors from surviving to thriving.

There are a variety of ways to raise funds and awareness. Build an event around something you enjoy—  some supporters have success by simply sending an email to friends and family; our youngest neighbors have setup lemonade stands; others have held a small or large event and asked for donations; donate your birthday or celebrate a special occasion by giving back. Every dollar counts!

You can find our fundraising guidelines here.
