This page shows you all the wonderful charities the Korean Fall Festival have supported in the pass. Some of the charities listed below are still supported, and we also add new charities every year. Thank you for your support.
The mission of the Harvest Hope Food Bank is to provide for the needs of hungry people by gathering and sharing quality food with dignity, compassion and education. Begun as an Emergency Food Box program in 1981 by a group of citizens concerned with feeding their hungry neighbors, Harvest Hope Food Bank is a 501(c)3 non profit organization with a mission of ending local hunger through shared community involvement.
Harvest Hope today is a regional food distribution organization that collects, stores, and distributes food and related items that assist families and children throughout 20 counties in central South Carolina. From simple beginnings, Harvest Hope has grown into a regional distribution organization providing food, comfort and hope to millions of hungry individuals and families in the Midlands, Pee Dee and Greater Greenville regions of South Carolina, serving almost half the state. With over 25 years of service as a hunger relief agency, we have developed an enormous efficient distribution operation and established a successful business model that identifies and meets an increasing demand for service.
Thornwell Home for Children opened its doors in 1875 as a haven for orphaned children. This non-profit ministry of the Presbyterian Church (USA) is one of the oldest children’s homes in our nation and is located in Clinton, SC.
Once an orphanage, today Thornwell serves abused, abandoned and neglected children – boys and girls in a range of ages from toddler to young adult. The majority of Thornwell’s children are private placements; however, some children come to Thornwell through the Department of Social Services. Thornwell’s program is not for offenders or youth with addictions.
With a goal of preserving families, Thornwell also offers services to parents and caregivers. Through community outreach and preintervention efforts, families can get help before the need for placement at Thornwell arises.
Oliver Gospel Mission strives to see that the broken and homeless are sheltered, given the gospel of Jesus Christ, and equipped to live responsibly. Our philosophy is drawn from the adage “Give a man a fish and you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime.” Our goal is that the men arriving at our door will receive the tools they need to live fulfilled, functioning and fruitful lives, ready to contribute to and enhance the community.
We minister to the community’s homeless by providing meals, shelter, and spiritual direction. Our Christ-centered Leadership Development Recovery Program (CLD) is designed to help men escape their addictions to drugs and alcohol. This program is devised to transform men’s lives from within through biblical teaching, counseling, educational assistance, and guidance in choosing a career and finding employment.
