This year’s Leadership Kershaw County cohort is proud to announce its class project aimed at providing warmth and comfort to those in need within our community during the colder months. The winter coat and blanket drive will run from now until December 5. Leadership Kershaw County is a vital program dedicated to identifying and developing current and future leaders within Kershaw County. Through a series of immersive sessions and community projects, participants gain a deeper understanding of local challenges and opportunities, fostering a commitment to service and civic engagement. This Winter Coat and Blanket Drive is one such community project undertaken by Leadership Kershaw County to address an immediate need in Kershaw County.
The organization is collecting new or gently used winter coats and blankets. All donations will benefit Food for the Soul, a local organization dedicated to assisting the less fortunate in Kershaw County. “Leadership Kershaw County is committed to making a tangible difference in our community, and providing warm coats and blankets is a direct way to support our neighbors during the winter. We encourage everyone to participate and help us ensure no one in Kershaw County goes without warmth this season,” says the Leadership Kershaw County cohort.
In addition to coats and blankets, Leadership Kershaw County is also collecting monetary donations to purchase a new commercial grade washer and dryer for Food for the Soul. Checks can be made payable to Leadership Kershaw County and sent to C/O United Way of Kershaw County, PO Box 737, Camden, SC 29021.
Donation sites include:
- Mid Carolina Credit Union – Camden, Lugoff, Elgin and Sandhills branches
- KCSD – District Office
- Synovus Bank – Camden branch
Donations will also be accepted during the United Way Chili Cookoff on October 25 in downtown Camden. Look for the Leadership Kershaw County table!
