Happy Giving Tuesday: Here are a few Grand Strand charities you can support
Grand Strand residents have plenty of opportunities to help the community this Giving Tuesday to kick off the Christmas season.
Every year the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving is a day dedicated to online fundraisers and community donations. Facebook will also match donations made through the social media site’s fundraising app.
While there is no shortage of charities needing donations this year, here is a round-up of a few you can consider. A fuller list of charities can be found on the Giving Tuesday Website.
Grand Strand Humane Society
Pets do so much for us and the humane society helps connect people with new four-legged friends. GSHS hopes to purchase a new x-ray machine to help get animals healthier ahead of adoption. Donate here.
Support Military Families
This charity helps make sure the family of service members are taken care of while their loved ones are away protecting the country. Folks who donate can also send a message of thanks and encouragement to a military family.
F.G. Burroughs S.B. Chapin Art Museum
The art museum is a place for folks to find inspiration, entertainment and to express themselves creatively. Located in Myrtle Beach, this museum is free to the public in part because people donate to it. If you’re interested in donating, click here.
Palmetto Literacy Council
The literacy council helps kids and adults acquire the skills to read, write and do the math necessary to be successful across South Carolina and in Horry County. They rely on community donations, so click here to help.
Waccamaw VOAD
Even a year after Hurricane Florence, folks are still in the recovery process. The VOAD connects local charities to help families recover and money donated is applied to where it is most needed.
