This year we chose two local organizations that provide food and cooked meals to families and individuals who are in crisis, poor or homeless. We decide to do a “Reverse Advent Calendar” theme this year. Each day members of our corporate staff donated items to food bins located in our office. Since Christmas Eve is on a Saturday we delivered the items a few days prior to that. In Horry County we donated to the Community Kitchen of Myrtle Beach which is located in the heart of Myrtle Beach. The Community Kitchen of Myrtle Beach tradition for the past 24 years is to feed the hungry, homeless and the poor without regard to the situation or condition. The meals and fellowship are provided at NO COST to their guests. To date this year, they have served over 91,963 meals (breakfast and lunch). In Georgetown County we donated to the Baskervill Food Pantry which is located at the Holy Cross Faith Memorial Episcopal Church, in Pawleys Island. The Baskervill Food Pantry is open to all families and individuals in need or crisis.  They offer a “hand-up” not a “hand-out” to help reduce the number of people affected by hunger in the community and everyone is treated with dignity and respect.  The Baskervill Food Pantry is an inter-denominational effort, supported by local civic organizations, area churches and individuals. Both organizations were so happy and appreciative for all that our staff donated! HIA is truly committed to helping others in our community not only during the Holidays but all year long as well. Happy Holidays! ![](https://hiacode.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/CommunityKitchen.jpg) ![](https://hiacode.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/CommunityKitchen.jpg) ![](https://hiacode.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/officebin.jpg?width=2865&height=2865&name=officebin.jpg) ![](https://hiacode.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/officebin.jpg?width=2865&height=2865&name=officebin.jpg) ![](https://hiacode.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Baskervill.jpg?width=2586&height=2586&name=Baskervill.jpg) ![](https://hiacode.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Baskervill.jpg?width=2586&height=2586&name=Baskervill.jpg) ##### [Previous](https://hiacode.com/blog/education/icd10-coding-tip-importance-of-reporting-glasgow-coma-scale) ### [Importance of Reporting Glasgow Coma Scale](https://hiacode.com/blog/education/icd10-coding-tip-importance-of-reporting-glasgow-coma-scale) ##### [Next](https://hiacode.com/blog/education/hia-news/4th-quarter-2016-wellness-challenge-connects-remote-workers) ### [4th Quarter 2016 Wellness Challenge Connects Remote Workers – HIAcode](https://hiacode.com/blog/education/hia-news/4th-quarter-2016-wellness-challenge-connects-remote-workers) Serach Blog Post ## Need to Earn CEUs?
