2004 Community Investments
Local volunteers on Community Councils use their knowledge and experience to target funds where the needs are greatest. To make the best use of contributor dollars, United Way holds agencies accountable for their programs, Grants are typically awarded for a period of three years, with continued funding dependent on satisfactory outcome reports.

The Food, Shelter, Safety and Transportation council awarded a 2007 grant of $50,000 to renew Harvest Hope Food Bank's successful program to establish emergency food pantries in rural areas in Lexington, Richland, Fairfield, and Newberry counties. The program assists local community organizations in rural areas to establish sustainable food pantries while following safe food handling practices. To date, the program has assisted 8,484 hungry people with more than 309,422 pounds of food. An additional $8,000 award, through the Edisto Council, will establish a pantry in Calhoun County.
