AIM Food Pantry Running Low; Here's How to Help

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

AIM is running out of staples, making it more challenging to feed the 55 families who daily county on the food pantry.

The annual Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat food drive is under way to help restock the shelves to feed those in our community who need a little extra help.

As Halloween approaches, the community can make it possible for hundreds of families to have food on the table by donating canned goods and non-perishable items collected to stock AIM's Fishes and Loaves Food Pantry.

This event helps jump-start the upcoming holiday season and AIM is inviting the entire community to join. Any class/group/club or individual can participate by forming a team to collect in neighborhoods, collecting food within your church or school organization.

All non-perishable food is welcome. (Avoid glass items. Please do not include items which will crush, such as bread.) Soups, canned vegetables, canned meats, rice, beans, peanut butter (especially peanut butter), and pasta are among the most requested items. 

Perishable items need to be brought directly to the AIM offices. For more information, call 864-965-9077, email Sarah.Skelton@aimcharity.org or visit https://www.aimcharity.org
