Columbia, SC – The Richland County Sheriff’s Department is inviting residents to help spread holiday cheer by donating non-perishable food items for its annual Food Drive, which runs through December 1, 2025.
According to the Sheriff’s Department, all donations will go directly to Harvest Hope Food Bank, a nonprofit organization that supports families across the Midlands with emergency food assistance.
Residents can drop off canned goods and pantry staples at either 2500 Decker Boulevard or 5623 Two Notch Road. Most-needed items include canned meats, mac and cheese, canned soup, vegetables, cereal, pasta, rice, beans, and peanut butter.
The department launched the initiative as part of its #ShareYourHoliday campaign, encouraging community members to help fight food insecurity during the winter season.
Sheriff’s officials say even small contributions can make a big difference. “Every can counts when it comes to feeding our neighbors,” the department noted in its announcement.
Community members are urged to donate before the December 1 deadline to ensure timely distribution before the holidays.
