💛 Clarendon County showed up big last week!

On Friday, the Clarendon Can! Food Drive delivered dozens of bags of food to three local pantries.

Schools, churches, and community groups also held drives to help restock shelves and support families in need. United Way volunteers and Cummins, Inc. employees joined in with a major delivery to Vision by Design, and the Open House of Prayer and Deliverance Ministries held a Harvest Hope food giveaway at K&H Resource Center, which served more than 200 families. Mayor Keith Bowman and Councilman Gavin Allen joined the food giveaway and spent the afternoon handing out bags of sweet potatoes to local residents.

Food drives are still underway, and donations continue to come in across the county. We’d love to keep this momentum going through November — and we know Clarendon County can do it. 🥫✨

📍 Drop-off locations for Clarendon Can! are in the comments as well as flyers for other drives.
