Stop Hunger Now Event
The South Carolina United Methodist Conference in coordination with stop hunger now, are hosting the SC Hunger Project event on June 11th during Annual Conference at the Florence Civic center.
We need your help to raise $72,000 to buy the supplies to package over 285,000 meals that are scheduled to be delivered to Haiti. Half of the $72,000 needs to be received by May 1st to purchase the supplies for Stop Hunger Now. Please contribute now, there is no need to wait until Annual Conference.
Fighting Hunger Locally
Fighting hunger isn’t just about sending food to foreign countries. As part of our local efforts to fight hunger we ask that you bring non-perishable food items with you to Annual Conference. In addition, any contributions that exceed the $72,000 goal will be given to local hunger ministries through the South Carolina Conference Board of Global Ministries.Â
