Our Jar Offering for April will go to Anderson Pregnancy Center, which is a non-profit committed to providing education, encouragement, and support to women of all ages facing untimely pregnancies. We believe that the life of the pre-born is precious, as is the life of the mother. As an organization, we focus on partnering alongside women and their families through their pregnancies and the challenges of parenting.
Our 2-Cents-a-Meal Offering for the 2nd Quarter of 2026 will go to Meals on Wheels of Anderson. MOW delivers a hot, nutritious meal daily to senior and disabled homebound neighbors across Anderson County but is so much more than food in a tray. The elderly and homebound recipients we serve are at a much greater risk of social isolation and often, our volunteers are the only people they interact with on any given day. This isolation can lead to chronic conditions such as anxiety and depression. Our volunteers deliver our recipients their food, but they also greet them, interact with them and make sure they are doing okay. This warm, human interaction helps reduce the feeling of isolation and improves their physical and mental health and makes them feel safe and cared for.
