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.

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 a Fund Drive
Hosting a fund drive helps Bluffton Self Help support our neighbors on their path to success where they need it most. There are a variety of ways to host a fund drive – some supporters have success by simply sending an email to friends and family, setup a lemonade stand, holding a small or large event and ask for donations, donate your birthday or celebrate a special occasion by giving back. Every dollar counts!
