(WJCL) - Bluffton Self Help works to serve neighbors in need providing food, clothing and education to folks in the Lowcountry.

And now theyre able to reach even more people thanks to a generous gift from the community.

According to feeding America, theres about 35 million Americans facing food insecurity everyday, and thats no different here in our community," says Kim Hall, Executive Director of Bluffton Self Help.

Bluffton Self Help serves 5,200 people each year helping families in the Lowcountry put healthy food on their tables.

Now theyre able to serve those who cant come to them through a new mobile food pantry generously donated by Palmetto Electric Cooperative and the Belfair Charitable Fund.

We could not do what we do without our supporters and without our community. We are 100% funded by this community, and we depend on those who help us. And were so grateful for their generosity and for being part of the solution," says Hall.

The meals on wheels will travel to neighborhoods and rural areas where theres a need making the nonprofits services even more accessible to folks all over Beaufort County.

It is one of the wealthiest counties in the state, but its also the most expensive county to live in in the state, and so we know that about 40-50% of our neighbors right here live paycheck to paycheck and are probably one paycheck away from crisis, living at or below that livable wage," says Hall.

This mobile pantry will also be used for food drives to stock the shelves of Bluffton Self Help.

You can track where the van will be for food collections or distributions here.
