The food pantry distributed over $300,000 in food last year, if the food is valued at retail value. Caring and Sharing is able to obtain this food for an average of 15% of its full value. Lately supplies have been scant, and the group has needed to purchase some food staples at the market. Caring and Sharing takes applications for needy children who will be given a gift box of clothing and toys for Christmas. Caring and Sharing sponsors a pileau dinner each year to raise funds. Caring and Sharing visits the "Blessing of the Inlet each year at Murrells Inlet, SC. Stop and say hello. Our Partners YOU  - Our most important members are individuals who chose to donate to help us help others. Some donate financially; others donate time and energy as volunteers FOOD LION - Our local Hemingway store has been very generous in providing food near expiration dates that is still perfectly usable, but otherwise would be thrown away, because it cannot be sold. LOW COUNTRY FOOD BANK in Charleston provides some of our food. Area businesses, churches, schools, and associations help with canned food drives, publicity and financial aid. Recent canned food drives have been held at Johnsonville Middle School, Johnsonville Elementary School, Ebenezer United Methodist  Church, Hemingway First United Methodist Church, Hemingway Elementary, School, Hemingway Public Library, and Safe Auto in Hemingway. Tupperware in Hemingway, and Nanya Plastic in Lake City have helped with funds. UNITED WAY of Georgetown is a source of funding.
