HELP 4 KIDS & ​Backpack Buddies

Helping the most vulnerable children of Horry County stay happy, healthy, and fed. Help 4 Kids / Backpack Buddies is a 100% volunteer organization that relies solely on donations. While school is in session, we collect donations of food and snacks, that are then put into food sacks that are sent home with underprivileged Horry County children in their backpacks on Fridays. We call them Barb’s Kids – after our founder Barb Mains.

Our school children continue to need the following:

• Clothes: Kids’ sizes 6-14
• Pants, shirts, underwear, socks & PJs
• Coats, hats, scarves, mittens & gloves

 
We help children in Horry County Areas including: Aynor, Nichols, Conway, Green Sea, Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas.
We thank you for your generosity in helping us make sure these children have the proper tools they need throughout the school year, and clothing and food to keep them healthy. We sincerely appreciate every donation, and so do the children we help!
