Volunteers
In addition to our regular volunteers, we are often joined by other
helpers, including church youth groups, scout troops, and school
classes, and folks who are between jobs.
This is an excellent experience for young people to learn service to
others. Anyone who would like to bring a group of young people for the
distribution day (Tuesdays, 8 - 12), please contact Director Carl
Harmon.
Here are pix of some of the groups that have come to help. One came from as far away as North Carolina.

The
group's main focus is to help the elderly people who trying to exist on
$200-$700 a month. "They are out there by the thousands," Harmon says.
He adds that they have come across residents who are trying to live on
as little as $127 a month.
Along with help with utility bills, Caring and Sharing operates
a food bank.
"We also need financial help, if we are to
expand our services," he said. Anyone wishing to volunteer or
make donations please visit our Contact
Us page.
The food bank, formerly at Harmon's
rural home, has moved to West George Street, Hemingway, SC. Currently
our Food Bank is providing food for over 700 families each month.
Caring and Sharing has acquired property
inside the city limits of Hemingway and the lot is located on 124 West
George just behind the Dollar General Store located at 200 North Main
Street.
We built a new facility, and shortly were able to about double
the size again, to create a much larger Food Bank. This new facility
and parking lot will allow Caring and Sharing to feed up to 900
families per month.
