BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.—According to Feeding America, 49.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households last year, including 33.3 million adults and 15.8 million children.
In South Carolina over 17% of the population live in poverty, and over 23% of South Carolina children live below the poverty line.
That means one in six South Carolina families will not have enough food to feed themselves each night.
In the spirit of giving, the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office recently provided Thanksgiving baskets to less fortunate school children and their families this year.
With the help from the public and generous businesses, the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office was able to feed 59 families total and make sure they had 
a happy Thanksgiving.
The event was all part of “Operation Stuffing,” just one of the many community events hosted by the sheriff’s office every year.
