we need your help

Because of the tremendous generosity of of our doners and volunteers, the Sandalwood Food Pantry finally has a permanent location! However, with this wonderful blessing comes substantial costs for operating the facility. Please visit our DONATE page and give anything you can. YOU can make a difference! Thank you.

Please view the recent reports from WTOC & WJCL on our lack of a facility.

 

Please feel free to have a look around our site and see the wonderful blessings that our simple food pantry has been able to provide for Hilton Head's most destitute. And if you so desire, please visit our donations page to contribute whatever you are able. You have our gratitude. Thank you and God bless.

"My only desire was to serve those who hunger for food, water, and a renewed spirit! Why? Because hunger pains deny dignity, deplete energy and thus one’s potential. Hunger erodes the family, the community and its stability, impairing the potential of people to achieve independence. I moved here from New Jersey to an island where the poorest of poor are hidden behind lush golf courses and plush luxury villas. But God has gifted me with eyes to see beauty, even when it’s not pretty, every day, and to nurture and nourish my own life from its presence. To break this cycle of hunger, Sandalwood Community Food Pantry provides food to those in need with the hope to silence the pain that hunger brings. I have been blessed with this opportunity to feed the poorest of poor and go where no one seems to want to go.
A place forgotten, where death by violence is a reality and drugs replace food. I have much gratitude in being able to serve in this way, because people, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, and one for helping others. Let's use our hands in this way…" - Reverend Dr. Nannette Pierson
