With the kickoff of the new campaign, and the help of MIM Media, we are proud to debut our new United Way of Horry County campaign video.

We hope that by watching our video that you understand the impact you can have in Horry County by donating or volunteering with UWHC.

We Need Your Help Now More Than Ever
Horry County has been one of the hardest hit communities in the state with unemployment and positive cases for COVID-19. Because of the effects on our economy, it has only compounded the existing challenges our area faces in access to education, financial stability and health to all and dramatically raised the level of need. Your gifts will be used to support programs that provide care to children of sexual assault, keep families in their homes, deliver meals to homebound seniors, provide mental health counseling, give childcare to those in need, supply food to thousands of families, give a fresh start to domestic assault victims, provide free tax assistance and much more. All donations raised here, stay in here Horry County and the need is greater than ever! Donate today to make a lasting change in Horry County.
