Thanksgiving Food Shared

November 10, 2026

“Poverty is what happens when people give up caring for one another.” The Felician Center continues serving the People of God since 1992. The ministry of feeding people in need is shared by many right from this Williamsburg County community. The Kingstree Community Youth group collected over 1000 food items during their annual scavenger hunt for the 150 Thanksgiving grocery bags distributed by the Felician Center. Additional food items were donated by St. Michael Church members and Knights of Columbus from Garden City, SC. Board members and volunteers from Felician Center and Santee Electric packed up the bags. Hundreds have donated to the cause. Caring for one another is very evident during the holidays and all year round.
