Social work students spearheading canned food drive


Graduate students in the University of South Carolina College of Social Work are spearheading a campaign through April 9 to collect canned food for Harvest Hope Food Bank and raise awareness of the growing problem of food insecurity and malnutrition in the Palmetto State.

The students have teamed up with the Bi-Lo at 7830 Garners Ferry Road and the Chick-Fil-A at 294 Harbison Blvd. to encourage the community to donate food for Harvest Hope’s emergency pantry, which is nearing the time of year when food requests are highest. Donation barrels also are located across the university. The drive will culminate in a canned food drive at the April 9 home baseball game against Clemson University.

To talk with the students, call Margaret Lamb at 803-777-5400.
