Unless their hunger is extreme, you probably wouldn’t be able to pick out the family that goes without one or more meals a day from the rest of the crowd. Greer Relief is working to make hunger invisible–not because it’s hard to detect, but because it’s not there.
Greer Relief supplies food for our neighbors in need who qualify for this assistance. Our food pantry houses nonperishable foods as well as household items. Commonly requested items include:
Food
Household Supplies
Baby Items
Greer Relief has partnered with 2 other non-profit organizations, Greer Community Ministries and Loaves & Fishes, to form The Greer Food Co-op. Individuals are eligible for membership if they are currently a service recipient AND if they have difficulty obtaining enough food for their household.
Members must adhere to the following requirements:
The Greer Food Co-Op funds provide for a Co-Op Coordinator, who is also a Co-Op member, to facilitate and run the meetings. Greer Relief is responsible for leadership and operations. The Greer Food Co-Op meets every two weeks for two hours to unload, sort, and distribute donations and to learn life skills from local professionals.
Provides a Thanksgiving meal for low-income and homeless individuals and families who might otherwise have no opportunity to celebrate the holiday. Some Thanksgiving meals may be delivered to people’s homes.
Provides a Christmas dinner for families in need.
