United Way of Greenville County

Helene's impact in the Upstate has left many of our neighbors without access to vital resources like food, water and shelter. To respond to our community's need, we have launched the United Way of Greenville County Community Relief Fund.   100 percent of your gift to this fund will support these efforts to get resources into the hands of Greenville County non-profits and families struggling right now.   We are also helping families navigate local resources. If you or someone you know needs non-emergency assistance, please contact 2-1-1 by dialing 2-1-1 or texting "HELP" or "AYUDA" to 211-211.   We hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. Our team and our community are working hard to help in any way we can.

We're back at the City of Greenville, South Carolina TD Saturday Market tomorrow, Oct. 11, to collect pantry boxes supporting Greenville County Schools students and families! Please note our updated donation recommendations. All collected boxes will go to the Greenville County Schools’ Drew Fowler Food Pantry, managed by the GCS Social Work team and used to support all schools. We hope to see you there!

Tomorrow, Oct. 11, is Greenville County's Team South Carolina Day at Greenville Technical College, featuring local, state and federal agencies to help provide information, resources and aid to those impacted by Helene.
