Here’s a list of Horry County charities participating in #GivingTuesday this week
Giving Tuesday is a time to freely give back to others — following all the purchasing done on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.
If donations are made on Facebook, the social media company will match contributions up to $7 million in total. Here some of the other Horry County charities you can donate to on Tuesday:
Flood recovery
First, the flood victims of Horry County still need help. Here is more information on how to help them even months after the storm:
Safe Haven 4 Cats
This North Myrtle Beach cat sanctuary is a no-kill shelter that helps to pair cats with their life-long human friends. It helps reduce the number of feral cats in Horry.
Donate here.
Habitat For Humanity
Building houses and helping people find stable homes is this nonprofit’s main goal. You can donate directly to the Horry County chapter to ensure your dollars benefit a local family.
Donate here.
Winyah Rivers Foundation
This organization raises awareness about our local rivers and making sure waterways stay clean for future Horry County generations to enjoy. It also did a lot of work during the hurricane and flood to keep people informed of river conditions.
Donate here.
Theater of The Republic
Theater has the ability to inspire and foster a life-long love for dramatic arts. This organization’s Coastal Youth Theater also gives young Horry kids a chance to be stars on the stage.

Coastal Carolina University
So many Horry County leaders and workers passed through the halls of CCU. The university also provides public events and sports to the local cultural offerings.
Donate here.
North Myrtle Beach Sea Turtle Patrol
Do you like turtles? Who doesn’t! Sea turtles need the help of humans to protect them from predators, like humans and humans with bright lights at night. Help make sure these sea critters have a home for the future.
