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.

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 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!
