Harvest Hope invites public to open house

Harvest Hope Food Bank will hold an open house from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday at its distribution facility at 2513 W. Lucas St. in Florence.

The food bank invites old friends and patrons as well as new supporters to meet its staff and tour the facility to learn about the scope and logistics of the food bank’s mission.

Harvest Hope will not be serving clients or distributing food during the event so that it can provide a better opportunity to spotlight its operations, according to a press release.

The Pee Dee location distributes food throughout eight of the 20 counties served by Harvest Hope Food Bank. Those counties are Chesterfield (13 agencies), Clarendon (12 agencies), Darlington (19 agencies), Dillon (10 agencies), Florence (63 agencies), Lee (nine agencies), Marion (eight agencies) and Marlboro (13 agencies).

Anyone interested in attending is asked to RSVP by e-mail to .
