Growing up, volunteering was always a part of my life. When I stopped for a while, I realized something was missing — the feeling that comes from serving others. That’s what brought me to the Hunger Coalition of the Lowcountry, and today, I’m honored to serve as the new Chairman.
At the heart of our work is a simple but urgent mission: to ensure that no child in our community goes hungry. According to Feeding America, over 1,200 children on Hilton Head Island experience food insecurity. That’s more than a statistic — it’s a call to action.
As Chairman, I feel a deep responsibility to help meet that need. Whether it’s delivering weekend food bags through our Backpack Buddies program, offering snack packs during the school day, or providing grocery support to families, every effort is about restoring dignity, stability, and opportunity.
Our vision is to grow our reach and help more families than ever before. Hunger doesn’t take a break — and neither will we. We are 100% volunteer-run, powered by people of all faiths and backgrounds, coming together to lift up our community.
But we can’t do it alone. Your support — whether through time, donations, or advocacy — makes this work possible.
Together, we can make sure every child has what they need to thrive.
With gratitude,
Jackson Massey
