We are incredibly grateful to the Long Cove Fund and the generous Long Cove Club members who support it for awarding a grant to Backpack Buddies of Hilton Head Island’s Fresh Produce Program.

This support will help us continue providing fresh fruits and vegetables to local children and families throughout our community. Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the health and well-being of our Lowcountry neighbors.

Check out Cactus Cactus Street Cantina this month to help support Backpack Buddies!

🎒 July’s Charity of the Month is Backpack Buddies of Hilton Head! 💚

They’re fighting weekend hunger, one backpack at a time.

Backpack Buddies of Hilton Head helps ensure children in our public schools have access to nutritious food over the weekends and throughout the school year. They fill the gap for kids who rely on school meals, making sure they have the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Throughout the month of July, 10% of every Rice Bowl sold at Cactus Street Cantina will be donated to this incredible organization.

With the new school year just around the corner, there’s no better time to come together and help local children start the year with the support they deserve.

So grab your favorite bowl, enjoy a delicious meal, and help us make a difference—one bowl at a time. ❤️🌵

Real impact in action.

Today we had the opportunity to meet with two representatives from the Long Cove Fund to share more about what Backpack Buddies is doing across the Lowcountry.

At the same time, this is what the work actually looks like on the ground. Volunteers showing up, packing bags, and making sure children have food going into the weekend.

Every grant, every dollar, every partnership turns into moments like this.

Grateful for the time, the conversation, and the people who continue to step up for local kids.

A meaningful investment in local children.

We’re incredibly grateful to Church Mouse Boutique Thrift for their continued support of our mission. Partnerships like this directly fuel the work happening every week through Backpack Buddies.

Because of this support, more children in our community will have consistent access to food when they need it most.

That’s real impact. Right here in the Lowcountry.

Thank you for standing with us and making a difference where it matters.
