ABOUT US

#scneedshelp was born out of a time of crisis — when Hurricane Florence devastated our community and neighbors needed help faster than other assistance could arrive. A small group of locals came together, not as professionals or policymakers, but as regular people who simply couldn’t stand by while families were struggling. What started as a few volunteers with big hearts turned into a grassroots movement of “locals helping locals” and that mission still drives everything we do today.

We are a laid-back, boots-on-the-ground nonprofit committed to supporting individuals and families right here in our own community and throughout South Carolina. Whether someone needs food, emergency supplies, or help getting through a tough season that is out of their control in life, we step in with practical resources, community connections, compassion, and zero judgment.

We believe in community over politics. We believe in focusing on people rather than paperwork.

Through strategic partnerships, community events like Smokeout at the Boathouse and eatMYR, volunteer support, and generous donors & sponsors, we work together to fill the gaps, lift each other up, and make sure no one in our backyard goes without help when they need it most.

Because at the end of the day, we’re just locals helping locals. That’s the heart behind #scneedshelp.
