One in eight people face hunger in South Carolina every day — and one in six of them are children, says Feeding America. Duke Energy and the Duke Energy Foundation are donating over $500,000 to more than 50 feeding programs through Giving Tuesday on December 3. On November 7, Duke Energy joined Mill Village Farms, WYFF and Bon Secours Wellness Arena in hosting a “Yam Jam” in Greenville, SC, as 170 volunteers bagged nearly 50,000 pounds of sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving food boxes. Tim Pearson, Duke Energy’s South Carolina state president, hopes this year’s campaign will give families needed support as the nonprofits and feeding programs continue their shared mission: eliminating food insecurity in their state once and for all.
