Children and Veterans of the Carolinas

Hunt Pray Eat, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating the absent father crisis, as well as the veteran suicide crisis.

HPE has recently found a new home in Chester, SC which is the perfect location to serve the people of the greater Charlotte, NC. and the greater Columbia, SC. areas, as well as everyone in between.

Our mission is simple; to develop the next generation of young people to become great and present parents through cultivating opportunities for our military veterans to mentor our youth.

We accomplish this through our programming which consists of activities designed to teach our young people critical life skills such as financial literacy, farming and gardening, outdoor skills, entrepreneurship, healthy lifestyle habits and so much more!

So far we have served military veterans and their families through Operation Sheepdog, providing emergency financial relief, holiday food drives, fellowship, and more.

We have also served children and single mothers through programs such as our Urban Hunger Relief Initiative where we taught children how to build a DIY, at-home aquaponics garden; hosting outdoor programs where we taught children and their parents critical outdoor survival skills, as well as connecting the children with excellent mentors found in our military veterans.

Our programming serves children, single mothers and military veterans and is designed to strengthen our communities by strengthening the individuals in them, as well as strengthening their bonds with one another.

Hunt Pray Eat has been blessed to find a home at Ellis Acres, a 12 acre operational farm in Chester, SC where we can execute our mission and utilize the farm to grow our children, our veterans and their families, as well as fruits, vegetables and livestock. This facility provides the ideal classroom and proving grounds where we can take the necessary steps to accomplish positive changes in our community!

The money we raise here will be used to erect new facilities on the property and improve existing ones in order to better serve our families and communities.

Funds will be used to build and improve the following:
