HOPE serves Cherokee County residents who are underserved by providing “food, daily meals, case management, health care services and other services to an ever-growing clientele in Cherokee County during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the generosity of our community in supporting our fundraisers,” Johnson said. “And we are truly grateful.”
