We Partner to Fight Hunger and Spark Change

The Mission of Hope Emergency Food Pantry partners with Harvest Hope Food Bank (HHFB), local grocery stores, and restaurants to fight hunger in our neighborhoods. Each week, we distribute bags of food to those in need at our Cayce location. Our volunteers, staff, and partners contribute to reaching over 140 families a week.

Here’s a video link to help you learn more about what we do at the Emergency Food Pantry. https://vimeo.com/1071370309

Volunteer Opportunities in Lexington and Richland Counties

Posted on by

Do you want to contribute your time and energy to make a difference in the life of someone who needs a smile, food, and clothes and longs to know someone cares? If so, Mission of Hope Ministries is the right place for you.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Mission of Hope Ministries (MOH). They care for others and desire to make a difference. Each team member multiplies our outreach a hundredfold.

We serve as God’s hands on earth and strive to meet individuals’ spiritual and physical needs through our Emergency Food Pantry, Thrift Stores, and Worship Center. We partner with other entities, businesses, and churches and interact with over 600 households monthly. 

At MOH, in Cayce, SC, we value creative skills and unique interests, which allow for a diverse range of volunteer opportunities and ensure a perfect fit for everyone. 

Volunteers giving food in the drive thru.

Our Emergency Food Pantry serves hundreds of families each week with bags of groceries. We need helpers to drive and pick up food donations from local stores and restaurants on wee days. Sort items to shelves and cooling units, pack the grocery bags for clients or assist with office-type duties. Here’s what one of our volunteers likes about working here.

The Cayce Thrift Store offers endless opportunities to assist customers. Organize the inventory, create eye-appealing displays, and design spaces for an optimal shopping experience. 

Maybe you prefer to contribute behind the scenes and enjoy keying client visits into the database or light office duties such as filing applications, copying, or making calls to clients.

If you enjoy leading projects, our list includes light landscaping, an outdoor pavilion, and purge and repurpose rooms to fill the growing ministry. There’s always something to do in our facilities.

Do you blog, take pictures, and love social media? Drop by our ongoing operations to see what’s happening and post information, events, and the latest good news about how God works in people’s lives.

Volunteer opportunities within our program services are available part-time, one or more days each week.
