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.
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.

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.

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.
