The StoreHouse SC is the first satellite Weekend Fresh Food Distribution Program. Our founder, Mel Johnson, a 14-year stroke survivor, is deeply committed to promoting heart health, healthy eating, and providing free fresh food to those in need. The families we serve are diverse, seniors, military and veterans, single parent households, teen moms, college students and the homeless. We have been operating for 8 months now and proudly serving 140 families monthly and growing.
At The StoreHouse SC, our mission is simple yet profound: "To serve nutrition in love." It’s this guiding principle that fuels our commitment to ensuring that families have access to fresh, healthy food, fostering both physical well-being and a sense of community care.
Every 4th Saturday of the month, between the hours of 11:30 am - 1:30 pm, or while supplies last, we provide free fresh food to residents and seniors of various counties and communities in South Carolina. We are housed in a food desert area so the ability to provide the community with free fresh food options is vital to the health and welfare of our individual's we serve. We are self-funded and fueled by volunteers who have dedicated themselves to our success.
We are in need of fresh food, monetary donations. toiletries, pampers, depends, bed liners, refrigeration and freezers.
Every 4th Saturday and every 2nd and 4th Tuesday and Thursday. Saturday is from 11:30am - 1:30pm or while supplies last. Tuesdays and Thursdays 11am - 1pm

ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
