Thank You DUKE Energy Foundation & Volunteers!

A huge thank you to the incredible DUKE Energy Foundation Team and Volunteers for joining Hidden Wounds, a 501(c)(3) veterans organization, to pack Thanksgiving boxes for our veterans and their families!
Your generosity and hard work are helping ensure those who have served our country can enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings.
Food insecurity is a very real issue among our veteran community, and your efforts make a direct impact, not only filling plates but also lifting spirits. Supporting our heroes in this way contributes to their mental health and overall well-being.
We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for standing with us to honor and care for those who’ve sacrificed so much.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA)!
Hidden Wounds extends our deepest gratitude to the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association for their generous $3,000 donation supporting our Thanksgiving Food Boxing event held on Veterans Day.
Hidden Wounds, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to helping veterans, active-duty service members, and emergency responders with mental health support, food assistance, and a safe place to talk.
This year, the demand for Thanksgiving food assistance has doubled due to growing food stressors in our community. Without the incredible support from CVMA, we would not be able to meet the needs of so many veterans and their families during this important time.
Thank you, CVMA, for stepping up once again to fill the gap and support those who have served, are serving, and are in need. Your generosity truly makes a difference.

A HUGE THANK YOU
Hidden Wounds would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA), Plaza Church of Christ, Warrior Brotherhood Motorcycle Association (WBMA), Northside Memorial Baptist Church, and the amazing students of Ragin Preparatory Christian Academy with Mr. Jarod Stukes, and several other individual volunteers.
This incredible group came together with our Hidden Wounds Team to pack food boxes for veterans in need of assistance.
The food for our pantry was generously provided by the Sumter Board of Realtors, who hosted a food drive for us last month, that collected over 4000 food items. Together, we turned that generosity into action, pulling the community together to serve those who have served.
It was a day filled with teamwork, smiles, and gratitude. Thank you all for making a difference in the lives of our veterans!

THANK YOU, SHAW AFB & COMMUNITY HEROES!
Today was a beautiful example of what service, compassion, and community truly look like.
A huge THANK YOU to the incredible personnel from Shaw Air Force Base, our dedicated community volunteers, and the compassionate church groups who came out in the summer heat to help Hidden Wounds pack food boxes for Veterans in need.
These food boxes are vital for filling the gap for Veterans experiencing food insecurity, those who have served and now find themselves in need. Your efforts today have made a direct impact in the lives of those who once wore the uniform.
We packed 104 boxes in no time at all but, the need is still great. Hidden Wounds is in urgent need of non-perishable food donations to continue supporting those who’ve sacrificed so much for us.
If you’d like to help, visit us at the Hidden Wounds Resource Center:
21 S. Washington St, Sumter, SC 29150
From all of us at Hidden Wounds, thank you for standing with our Veterans.
