The Horry County Community Collaborative (HC3) is a partnership of more than 75 community organizations including nonprofits, government agencies, hospitals, and more, united by a shared vision: to ensure that all Horry County residents have equitable opportunities to improve their quality of life.
HC3 convenes monthly either as a full collaborative or in one of three working groups to strengthen collaboration, share resources, and make a lasting impact across Horry County.
Full meetings for the collaborative are currently held on the last Wednesday of every other month, starting at 9 am at the Horry County Adult Education Center on Oak Street.
