Today, so many of our neighbors are working hard to overcome barriers and get ahead. But together with our community-serving partners and supporters like you, we can connect people to the opportunities they need to reach their full potential and make Sumter, Clarendon, and Lee Counties a place where everyone can thrive. From strengthening local resilience to advancing health, youth opportunity, and financial security, no challenge is too big for us to take on when we work together.
Because, United is the Way™.
The Self-Sufficiency Standard for South Carolina is a measure of income adequacy that is based on the costs of basic needs for working families: housing, child care, food, health care, transportation, and miscellaneous items, as well as the cost of taxes and the impact of tax credits.
Our Mission
