AIM in Urgent Need of Food Donations

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

It’s scary how empty the AIM food pantries are getting.

The Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat food drive is starting early this year, to help restock the shelves to feed those in our community who need a little extra help.

For the Halloween season, you 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 within your church, school organization or bringing your own creative ideas to help. AIM offers any materials you might need along with support, while you provide the volunteer power and enthusiasm for this effort.

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, 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
