Golden Harvest Food Bank announced a $7,000 grant from The Darden Foundation to help provide hunger-relief to families in GA and SC.

One in 6 adults and 1 in 5 children struggle with hunger in the communities served by Golden Harvest.

Golden Harvest, a member of the Feeding America network, is one of 193 food banks to receive this funding from The Darden Foundation. It is projected that this grant will enable the Food Bank to fund several initiatives, including youth nutrition, senior food boxes and mobile food pantries.

The Darden Foundation is committed to supporting families facing food insecurity in communities across the United States. Their commitment to help is demonstrated through their partnership with Feeding America and their network of 200 food banks across the nation.

Feeding America has worked alongside The Darden Foundation for seven years in the fight to end hunger. Thanks to their ongoing support, the Feeding America network has been able to help provide even more meals to families in need.
