A Day of Hope has a mission to provide local underprivileged students a much-needed message of hope, along with services and supplies needed to prepare for a successful school year.
Their annual event provides students with:
- Backpacks filled with school supplies
- New shoes and socks through Samaritans Feet
- Student hygiene items
- Dental screenings
- Vision screening
- Lunch from The Salvation Army
- Information and opportunities for families to receive assistance
A Day of Hope took place on Saturday, August 5, 2023 at the YMCA of Coastal Carolina. 73 Households benefitted from the resources provided by community to ensure a successful back-to-school experience. This year, five Rotarians from the Carolina Forest Sunrise Rotary prepared and served just under 500 meals with the Salvation Army of Horry County. Way to go!
