*Long post, but well worth the read for a worthy cause*
It's that time of year again...
It's time for the 4th Annual Ham Stampede Fundraiser put on by Diligent Hands and it's successful thanks to you...
Every year, thanks to your continued generosity, we are able to provide the Charleston Area Churches Food Pantry with 100 quality hams to distribute throughout December...
This year will be no different...100 hams that will go to people in need in our area...
We partner with The Butcher Shop and purchase the hams through them. They graciously donate the labor for cutting up the hams and repackaging them into smaller sizes so that we are able to buy larger hams at a better price point...more pork for our buck...
In the past, it has cost approximately $12-15 per ham. This year I'm expecting with the rising cost of everything, that it will be higher per ham...estimating $18-20 per ham.
There are multiple ways to be involved...
You can donate monetarily via PayPal () or Venmo ()...please include "ham donation" in the notes so I can easily keep track of the donations...
You can also donate in person via donation boxes located at the following locations...donation boxes will be in place Nov 25th-Dec 30th....Locations and addresses listed below...
