Host A Drive

Host a Fund or Food Drive

Hosting a Drive is a great way to get the whole family, group, or neighborhood involved in giving back!

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

 

Throughout the year Bluffton Self Help partners with all 10 Bluffton schools to help provide the essential tools students and educators need for a successful learning environment.

HOLIDAY FOOD & TOY DRIVES

While some families are finding ways to keep their traditions alive this holiday season, many Lowcountry neighbors are still struggling to afford basic needs and keep a roof over their heads. Bluffton Self Help has a long-standing tradition of ensuring that all Lowcountry neighbors can take home turkey or ham, a variety of holiday trimmings, and gifts for their children. Fulfilling this holiday commitment takes a community.

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.

Donate items to Bluffton Self Help August 15th – May 15th

 

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.

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.

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!
