Together we can eliminate school lunch debt.
Carolina Handling associates made a huge community impact in FY24, raising money, volunteering and sending messages of hope and encouragement to hundreds of children with chronic and terminal illness across our territory.
In FY25, our philanthropic focus will turn to hunger relief as we work to help eliminate food insecurity in our local communities. Almost 11% of U.S. households experienced food insecurity in 2023, with South Carolina and Alabama ranking among the 10 hungriest states in the country.
According to Feeding America, more than 44 million people in the U.S. face hunger, including 1 in 5 children. In 2022, 49 million people turned to food banks, food pantries, and community organizations to help feed their families.
Let’s make sure every child has access to lunch.
Help us make sure no child is given an alternate meal nor denied lunch at school due to financial circumstances that are completely out of their control. Your donation will go towards paying off delinquent lunch accounts and funding reserve accounts in school so that when a child comes through the lunch line with no funds, the reserve account will cover the cost of their meal. This helps to make sure every child has access to lunch at school, regardless of their financial situation at home.
