United, We Do More

United Way of Horry County brings our community together to break down barriers, meet urgent needs, and create opportunities so everyone can live their best possible life.

Youth Opportunity

Helping Every Child Succeed
From the first day of kindergarten to high school graduation, every child deserves the tools and support to reach their potential. Together with families, schools, and community partners, we’re creating pathways for children and youth to learn, achieve, and succeed.
Health

Healthy Community

Improving Health and Wellbeing for all
We’re working toward a future where behavioral health needs are recognized, validated, and supported. By partnering with local organizations, we expand access to nutritious food, quality healthcare, and essential services so every person has the chance to thrive.

Financial Security

Building Financial Stability and Strength
We envision a Horry County where every individual has the resources to build selfsufficiency. By supporting access to quality housing, career opportunities, and financial tools, we’re helping families move from surviving to thriving.

Community Resiliency

Creating a Stronger, More Resilient Community
Everyone deserves the security of knowing their basic needs will be met. Through collaboration, we work to ensure access to food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and healthcare — building a community that can respond to today’s challenges and prepare for tomorrow.

Our THRIVE team spent this week learning and growing at the annual SC Thrive training! Every day, this rock star team helps Horry County neighbors connect with the resources they need to build financial security, and they come back from training ready to do even more.

We also want to give a special shoutout to our very own Kissie Melvin, who received the Coastal Heart of the Region award!

Kissie brings undeniable passion to her work and her clients every single day. She meets people where they are, and she shows up for them with care and determination. We are so proud to have her on Team UWHC. Congratulations, Kissie! 👏👏👏
