The H.O.P.E. Animal Food Pantry will be closed for the summer as many of our student volunteers head home for the season. We are planning to reopen in August and cannot wait to continue serving the community then 🤍

If you are experiencing an emergency, please contact us at [email protected]. Due to limited volunteer availability over the summer, we also encourage anyone in need to reach out to other local pantry resources if possible.

Thank you all for your continued support, donations, and kindness this year!

URGENT: If anyone in the area is looking to adopt, this adorable kitty was rescued and is currently in need of a new home.

Unfortunately he cannot stay in his current home because he has tested positive for AIDS. This is not contagious to other dogs/animals however it can be spread to other cats.

He already has all of his vaccines as well as dewormer and flea medication! All he needs is a loving home without other cats🐈

Whether you want to play, ref, volunteer, or just come to hang out, we would love to see you there!!🤍🤍

All proceeds from the tournament will go to Dr. Darden (a professor at Coastal Carolina University previously diagnosed with Leukemia) or a charity of his choosing, so come out to support a great cause😁

Last year we managed to raise $3,550 and we can’t wait to see what this year holds!!
