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.

As part of the Youth Opportunity focus area, our Mission Ready programming focuses on getting children ready for school with programs like The Basics Waccamaw, Ready, Set, Kindergarten! and implementing Heggerty at area childcare centers.

Our newest crop of Coastal Carolina University interns are already hard at work this Fall getting this curriculum in front of our children before they get to school! Heggerty focuses on phonemic awareness and is the same curriculum used by Horry County Schools in their Child Development and Kindergarten classrooms to get our youngest learners reading.

Pictured here is Skylar Darboe working with students at Your Neighborhood Child Development Center in Conway. This program is successful because of the hard work and dedication of these CCU students, as they help us prepare the next generation of Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. United is the Way!
