Traditions and gatherings look very different for many people this holiday season because of COVID-19.

But a local nonprofit is working to make sure every Lowcountry family has a meal on the table this Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is such a meaningful holiday for so many. Its about family, its about coming together," says Kimberly Hall, Executive Director of Bluffton Self Help.

This Thanksgiving, Bluffton Self Help is seeing an increase in clients like never before because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The need continues to rise right here in our community, and people that are coming through that have never really asked for help before, were here to serve them," says Hall.

This week their volunteers hosted two drive-thru Thanksgiving meal giveaways making sure every family drives away with a turkey, potatoes and stuffing.

All the food was donated by the community.

In total, the nonprofit was able to serve 400 families.

Providing this food is more than just putting food on the table, its really giving that sense of community, that sense of support," Hall says.

Bluffton Self Help serves those who live and work in Bluffton, and the nonprofit encourages anyone in need to give them a call.

We want to continue to make sure nobody in our community goes hungry or homeless and well be there for them," Hall adds.
