You can help be a part of the solution!

Backpack Buddies of Hilton Head addresses the needs of hungry children in the lowcountry by providing healthy food during the school year that is distributed through the public schools.

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.

Giving Tuesday is here, and Backpack Buddies needs a push.
We’re feeding kids across the Lowcountry with weekend bags, fresh produce, and grocery support — and the need keeps growing.

If the community steps in, more kids eat. Simple as that.

💛 Every dollar keeps a child fed
💚 Every share spreads the impact

We had an incredible time at this year’s Mini Golf for a Cause fundraiser with our friends at ! ⛳️💛

Thanks to the generosity of our community, 100% of the proceeds are going directly to support and - two local nonprofits working to ensure every child has access to the food, care, and education they deserve. 🍎📚

It was a fun-filled day of putts, laughs, and purpose—and we’re so grateful to everyone who came out, played a round, and made a difference.

Special thanks to Sunset Rotary for choosing us as beneficiaries and for being such committed champions of children in the Lowcountry! And thank you to .hiltonheadisland for letting us use your facility!

We’re incredibly honored to have been selected by the 100+ Women Who Care of Hilton Head as one of this quarter’s grant recipients. 💛

Their generous donation is already at work helping us feed more local children and provide essential resources through our Backpack Buddies program. It’s inspiring to see women in our community come together, vote, and give—making a direct impact right here in the Lowcountry.

We’re also grateful to WHHIT for highlighting their efforts and giving us the chance to share our mission. 🙌

Every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading—and thanks to your support, that’s exactly what happened. 📚💛

We received the sweetest thank-you notes from students who now have their very own Scholastic books to take home and treasure. These smiles, drawings, and words remind us why we do what we do.

At Backpack Buddies, we’re not just fighting hunger—we’re feeding minds, building confidence, and showing kids that they matter.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this possible. Together, we’re creating a stronger, brighter Lowcountry—one child at a time. 🌟
