Back-To-School Donations

With many parents out of work and struggling to financially recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, we knew that shopping for schools supplies may be difficult for some families this year. Carolina Trust partnered with WBTW News 13 for their Back-To-School drive, where they collected food, clothes and school supplies for Help 4 Kids and Backpack Buddies who administers the items to underprivileged students.
 
We also made supply donations to the Sandy Gove Missionary Baptist Church Young Women’s Auxiliary School Drive and the City of Myrtle Beach Mary C. Canty Recreation Center Back-To-School Community Supply Drive organized by Docshee Moore.
