The Waccamaw Community Foundation needs our help.

As a tropical storm makes its way through Myrtle Beach, our community is demonstrating incredible resilience and unity. The Waccamaw Community Foundation, the region's dedicated community foundation, is at the forefront of disaster relief efforts, serving as the primary hub for financial donations supporting Horry, Georgetown, and Williamsburg counties.

 

In times of natural disasters such as hurricanes and flooding, the Waccamaw Community Foundation steps up to collect and distribute funds through local organizations. These include the region's VOADs (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster), Habitat for Humanity, Catholic Charities, and other relief organizations that provide immediate and long-term recovery assistance.

The Disaster Relief Fund, managed by the Waccamaw Community Foundation, is crucial in providing both immediate relief and supporting long-term recovery efforts. Every contribution, whether from individuals, businesses, or groups, plays a vital role in helping our community bounce back stronger than ever.
