Mission

FoodShare South Carolina’s mission is to increase access to, knowledge of and consumption of vegetables and fruit through community-led projects. All of FoodShare’s work is guided by strong beliefs that reflect our commitment to food security and food justice. As a leader in food security locally and statewide in South Carolina, we collaborate with others who share our beliefs to realize our vision of expanding access to nutritious food.

Our Involvement​

Rick Mantei holds flying events at the local airport in Peachtree City, and extended an invitation to the Midwest Food Bank volunteers to thank them for their hard work. Additionally, Mantei made a donation of $5,000 to the nonprofit to help further its efforts.

Midwest Food Bank distributes over $32 million worth of food to over 2,000 nonprofit organizations each month through its locations across eight states, East Africa and Haiti. The nonprofit is a first responder to the Salvation Army, able to send family food boxes on the road to a disaster site within 24 hours of a request. Each of these boxes has enough food to feed a family of four for four to five days.
