spotlight on giving

Bluffton Self Help visited 10 Bluffton schools last month to deliver more than 6,500 school snacks to help students focus on learning. Its Red Apron Volunteers helped stock classrooms with educational games. According to its website, Bluffton Self Help launched the School Snack Program to provide snacks for teachers to utilize when in need. In 2022, Bluffton Self Help provided 23,339 individual snacks to Bluffton-area schools — which is $29,173 worth of snacks.
