🥧 Another Hospitality Host is coming BACK for Porches of Sumter 2026 presented by Farmers Telephone Cooperative and Tandem Health!

Last year, Pound of Love Bakery was a hit at the Jacksons’ home, where guests gathered to slow down, enjoy the beautiful scenery and porch, and experience the incredible hospitality shared by Derrick, Cassandra, and their son Devin.

That’s what Porches is all about. ❤️ Their generosity, love for Sumter, and passion for serving their community helped turn their stop into more than just a place to grab a bite. It became a place to gather, connect, and stay awhile.

🌟 Current Greater Sumter Chamber Members: Hospitality Host spots are still available! Restaurants, businesses, nonprofits, churches, and organizations can claim a designated porch, serve the community, and showcase their organization to hundreds of guests throughout the evening.

Hospitality Hosts receive:
• A designated porch location
• Company signage at their stop
• Recognition on printed + digital event maps
• A social media spotlight
