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.

🍂 Falling Into a Great School Year!🍁

Stopped by First Presbyterian Growing Tree Preschool today with a few sweet treats 🍩 to wish our wonderful partners a fantastic Heggerty school year!

This year, four Growing Tree classrooms will engage in Heggerty Phonemic Awareness helping young learners strengthen the foundational literacy skills they need as they prepare for kindergarten. 📚✏️

We are grateful for educators who understand that kindergarten readiness doesn’t begin on the first day of kindergarten. It starts NOW, with intentional learning, caring teachers, and strong community partnerships.

🍁 Four classrooms
📚 Building early literacy skills
🎒 Preparing children for kindergarten
🤝 Working together for greater impact

Because when it comes to preparing our youngest learners for success, **partnership is everything!

Here’s to a school year filled with growing, learning, partnership...and maybe a donut or two! 🍩🍂

Thank you Loris Regional Lions Club for your continued support! 💙The Loris Regional Lions Club had the privilege of presenting a check to Richard Williams, Jr, Early Education Program Manager for United Way of Horry County.

Our Club's contribution benefits "The Basics," a wonderful program where caregivers sign up to receive FREE periodic text messages with ideas and topics to stimulate the child's growth. Our donation covers the cost to provide this service for ten children.
