Help for Kids
Thursday, January 22, 6-8pm
Pee Dee Equality is volunteering with Help 4 Kids Florence, an incredible organization fighting childhood hunger right here in our community. They pack and deliver 2,600 bags of food every week to students across Florence County — including Florence, Pamplico, Johnsonville, and Lake City. These bags go straight into children’s backpacks every Friday so no child goes hungry over the weekend.
We need 10–12 volunteers to help pack food bags at their warehouse. This is hands-on, meaningful work that directly supports kids and families in our area.
