August 8, 2019
Harvest Hope Food Bank announced a $12,000 grant from The Darden Foundation to help with operational maintenance costs. The funds will be used to purchase four forklift batteries to increase efficiency in their warehouses in Columbia, Greenville and Florence.
“This grant from The Darden Foundation couldn’t have come at a better time,” says Harvest Hope CEO Wendy Broderick. “We are busy ramping up for the school year. Being able to purchase batteries for our forklifts will help us distribute more food and feed more children.”
