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.

When Helene hit communities across our Upstate and Western North Carolina, Greenville County stepped up to take care of our own impacted by loss of power and access to critical resources. Thanks to the generosity of this community, we have continued to meet the most immediate needs of our neighbors, providing fresh food, water, hygiene supplies and more to families and individuals whose circumstances were exacerbated by this natural disaster. Together, we have distributed over 19,500 meals to Greenville County families. Our ongoing community-wide donation drive has brought in tons of essentials like non-perishable food, water, clothing, diapers and nursing supplies, first aid and so much more—all being distributed by the truckload to schools, neighborhoods and organizations across our community. And we continue to work with local leaders, regional partners and federal groups to ensure needs are being met right here in Greenville County. None of this is possible without your support, and we still need your help. Your gift to our Community Relief Fund will help us continue to meet the evolving post-Helene needs in our community—like rent and utility assistance. Thank you to Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Coldwell Banker Caine, Community Foundation of Greenville, Duke Energy Corporation, GE Vernova, Greenville Women Giving, Hollingsworth Funds, Nordstrom, Greenville Swamp Rabbits, Table 301, TD and TD SYNNEX US for your generous support of the United Way of Greenville County Community Relief Fund.

Congratulations on a very well-earned retirement, John Humphries! Our community is better because of leaders and advocates like you.

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!

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.
