Food Resources
We've been getting many requests for food needs in Horry County. Many of the food banks are in DESPERATE need of donations! Unfortunately, most of the food banks are in Conway but, many will bring food to those who need it.
Also, our friend Chris Steele hosts a project called Krypton Batcave Gaming and they work to support fundraising drives for Chrone's disease and Food Drives. You can find them on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/krypton.gaming.5?ref=ts
We have also learned that Helping Hand is overwhelmed and needs donations.
If you have something to spare, M.O.B will ALWAYS take it to give. Food, clothes, baby supplies, any necessities. There is always someone who can use these things!
