Many thanks for everyone's support!

As the semester comes to a close, we would like to thank all who participated in our efforts to support the Home-Delivered Meals Program at Trident Area Agency on Aging. We are grateful for every person who came out and supported us.

We were able to host a car wash and two hot dog sale events. 

We held a drawing with prizes donated by our students. We had a student come in at random to draw the three winners. 

 In total,we raised over $2000 total to give to Trident Area Agency on Aging. THANK YOU!

Let's kick that POLLEN to the curb and raise money for our lowcountry SENIORS!

The Partners for Change in Communities and Families Club will be having a car wash on Saturday March 26 from 8am - 3pm at the Pep Boys on Savannah Hwy.

Our First Fundraising Event

On 7 March 2011, the students who organized the Partnership for Change Project hosted a hotdog sale in order to raise funds to give to Trident Area Agency on Aging's Home-Delivered Meals Program.

We are pleased to say that this event was a success. We were able to raise $248 to give to the Home-Delivered Meals Program. 

This means that because of your help, 62 more meals will be delivered this year to those who are in need.

Here are a few pictures of our Feed the Hungry Fundraising Event:

Many thanks to all who participated. We would like to personally thank Sam's, Publix, and a few of our classmates whose donations made this fundraising event possible.

Help Us Help Them

PCCF is participating in a community outreach effort that includes collecting donations and hosting fundraising events to support Trident Area Agency on Aging's Home-Delivered Meals program. One hundred percent (100%) of the monetary donations and event proceeds will support the Home-Delivered Meals program that benefit homebound seniors and adults with disabilities. Please, help us help them.

Show Your Support

Please join us for a night of Dining at your local Mt. Pleasant Applebees and a portion of your bill will be Donated to TAAA's Home Delivered Meals Program.....

What is the Home-Delivered Meals Program?

The Home-Delivered Meals Program was designed to provide nutritious meals to homebound seniors and older adults with disabilities who are in need. We are raising money to support those in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties of South Carolina who meet these criteria. 


Trident Area Agency on Aging (TAAA) has lost a total of $177,000 compared to 2009. These funds were to be used for 44,000 home-delivered meals for senior citizens. There is a great need to assist those in our community who cannot help themselves. Your donation to the Home-Delivered Meals program will go straight to those who truly need it.


For many of these seniors, the home-delivered meal is "a source of nutrition, often the only daily contact with a living person, and can help individuals make independent living a viable option." (TAAA 2010)

One of our classmates wrote about her personal experience with the Home Delivered Meals program. She writes: 


"My name is Lashanda Steplight and I am a student at Trident Technical College in the Human Services program. The Home-Delivered Meals program is an excellent and helpful program. My granny used to recieve the meals before she passed away and she always enjoyed the food and also the company. It helped her to be comfortable with not being able to cook anymore, because she always wanted to do for herself even when she was unable to. Having this program really shows the elderly that someone does care. It also helps the family because family has the tendency to forget because they have busy lives. Helping with this program can put a smile on many faces and fill plenty of bellies." 


As our project continues, we hope to be able to spread awareness as well as raise funds for this cause. If you have any questions or would like to make a donation, we welcome your support and inquiries.
