Harvest Hope and South Carolina Department of Veterans' Affairs Partner on Program to Provide Food Assistance to Veterans

June 22, 2022

It is a harsh reality that many active-duty military members and veterans face hunger. After sacrificing so much for our country, over 150,000 service members and their families experience food insecurity across the United States.

This is unacceptable and at Harvest Hope, we're committed to making a difference in that number. We're committed to giving Hope to Heroes. 

Together with the Department of Veterans' Affairs, we'll be joining the online platform, Combined Arms, to ensure veterans and service members in our area can find the assistance that they need. 

For Veterans and Service Members Seeking Assistance:

The Palmetto Pathfinder Program is a South Carolina Veteran peer-support program that provides personal support for transitioning Veterans by connecting them to relevant resources and services in their community (such as Harvest Hope) and assist them in accomplishing their personal and professional goals and thrive after military service.

Who Can Pathfinders Assist?

  • Service Members transitioning out of the military
  • Veterans moving to or within South Carolina

  • Veterans looking for personal assistance identifying and connecting with local resources

Types of Assistance:
