Following the devastating South Carolina floods in October, the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina provided 24 flood relief grants totaling $100,350 to serve 19 of the hardest hit counties in South Carolina during its first response stage to the floods.
The foundation is reviewing action and feedback from phase one of flood relief efforts as it develops a strategy for the next phase of funding. The grant money was designated for organizations that could reach outlying areas of the state that may not have had ample resources to meet the needs of flood victims. These organizations, which serve a wide variety of populations on a regular basis, are:
The funds have contributed to supplies, services and support, and rebuilding efforts. As a statewide funder dedicated to helping families and individuals live out of poverty, the foundation recognized a duty to react to the growing needs after the flood. The foundation plans to use data collected from phase one to address additional unmet needs in South Carolina communities affected by the flood.
The Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina is a ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System.
