Awareness

​We partner with local, state, and federal organizations to stay ahead of dangerous weather and disasters to inform the community and provide disaster plans and restore homes from disasters.

One of our partners, South Carolina Emergency Management Division, provides many resources on their website to learn about possible disasters and how to plan. 

We are active members of VOAD, the South Carolina Voluntary Organizations of Active in Disaster. The mission of VOAD is to strengthen the capabilities of organizations by working together to respond to communities affected by disaster in South Carolina.

Recovery

After storms devastated our area in 2021, we partnered with local organizations to help with emergency repairs for the homes of 31 families in North and Neeses that were damaged by tornados. ​

Preparedness

In 2021 and 2022, we gave out more than 50,000 masks to protect our community from the dangers of COVID. 

We helped raise mortgage relief funds and secured grants to aid families in remaining in their homes during the worst parts of the pandemic.

During this time, we were awarded a grant from the Central Carolina Community Foundation and partners of the One SC Fund, to provide approximately 4,000 of food to the Orangeburg community including the Samaritan House, First Baptist Church Soup Kitchen, and many other families.
