SPECIAL TO BLUFFTON TODAY
| During the quarter ending June 30, Bluffton Self Help provided food to more than 900 people from three weekly deliveries from Second Helpings and provided additional nonperishable foods to 350 people. The downtown charity also assisted more than 4,500 people with clothing.
Self Help provided financial assistance to 45 families with rent/mortgages or emergency lodging, 48 families with utility and water assistance, six people with medications or medical supplies, three children with approved items through its children’s assistance program and 13 people with home repairs.
“On behalf of our clients, we thank everyone who has been bringing in gently used summer clothes,” said director Jenny Haney. “Due to the lack of storage space, we can not accept winter clothes.”
Bluffton Self Help is the only nonprofit agency serving the Bluffton area that offers all donated items free of charge. This includes food, clothing, small appliances, books, sheets, blankets and towels. Limits are established on the amount a person can take each day. It also provides emergency financial assistance to families living in the Bluffton area who are in a documented crisis situation.
Self Help is at 1264 May River Road and is open Mon day through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations are welcome during business hours. For more information, call 757- 8000.
Also, Haney said she wanted to give a “special thanks” to the following organizations that provided grants during the second quarter: Tenet Foundation, St. Francis Thrift Shop, Sun City’s 11th Annual Chatterton Charity Classic Golf Tournament, Pulte Homes, Food Lion by Sun City, FEMA, Friends of Callawassie and the All Saints Episcopal Church Garden Tour.
