Safe Harbor
Safe Harbor Shelter Clients (displaced to a hotel)

About this Meal Train

Our shelters are set up as community living environments and are not structured for current social distancing and quarantining recommendations. Therefore, we have temporarily moved our shelter residents into hotel stays. We plan to use hotel stays for shelter residents through the month of May 2020. While our shelter residents are in hotel stays, we are continuing to provide 24/7 staff availability on-site of the hotel, mobile advocacy and case management, and access to all basic essential needs (food, toiletries, baby/children’s supplies, etc.). We need help with providing supper to the clients in the form of restaurant deliveries. If you would like to contribute by ordering a meal or donating toward the Meal Train fund, we would be so grateful. A meal for all shelter/hotel residents should cost about $200 a night. Thank you!

Take a Virtual Hike for the Smokies!
May 16 all-day
Virtual Smoky Mountains National Park
Alum Cave At-Home Adventure is a Virtual Fundraising Hike on one of Great Smoky Mountains National Park’s most iconic trails. Although the trail will look different for everyone, we’re all going the distance together – 4.6 miles for a roundtrip hike to Alum Cave or 10 miles up to the top of Mount Le Conte and down via Alum Cave Trail. Find your own trail. It could be your yard, your neighborhood or a treadmill in your basement. If a hike isn’t your thing, just choose the Park Bench option! Anyone can join us in solidarity to raise funds for Great Smoky Mountains National Park from the comfort and safety of your own home.
Here’s how it works:
1. Register to virtually hike at AlumCaveAtHome.org, and personalize your fundraising page.
2. Ask your family, friends, and coworkers to support you by making a tax-deductible donation to Friends of the Smokies through your personal fundraising page.
3. You have until June 6, 2020 to fundraise and complete your virtual hike, then you will receive your hike swag, including a t-shirt and finishers medal, in the mail!
Over the last few weeks, we’ve become pros at staying home and practicing social distancing. As we take care of ourselves and each other, we hope you’ll also help us take care of the Smokies. The park is closed for the safety of visitors and staff, but critical conservation projects still need funding. It’s up to us to preserve the park for generations to come so we hope you’ll join us.

The Greenville Drive Community First
May 22 all-day
online

HELP THE HUNGRY. HONOR OUR HEROES.

The Greenville Drive is partnering with Duke Energy, Spinx and Trehel to support Minor League Baseball’s CommUNITY First campaign benefiting Feeding America and its partners throughout the nation.

In Greenville, the beneficiary is Harvest Hope which does noble work in helping to feed our neighbors who are experiencing hunger as a result of the COVID-19 virus.

For each $10 donation made through the Greenville Drive by our fans and neighbors, we’ll provide a free ticket to a future game (either this season or next) to a frontline fighter of this pandemic. Their heroism has been an inspiration to our community and to the entire nation, and the Drive, along with our partners, is proud to salute these heroes in such a tangible way.

We are in this together for certain. And those who are in need, and who have gone above and beyond are deserving of respect and recognition.

We know you’ll do your part to help. After all, this is the Upstate of South Carolina.

And together we win.
