Volunteer

United Way of Horry County can connect you with one-time opportunities and events that help our community, as well as ongoing and regularly scheduled opportunities that support long-lasting change.

Each of our volunteer events is an opportunity to build stronger ties to the community. We welcome every family, friend, neighbor, peer, and workplace to join us. We have an event for every interest. 

Whether it is for an hour, a day, once a week, or once a month, you can create a tremendous impact on another person’s life.
