COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund
Together, We Can Make a Difference
$1.2M Raised Within Two Weeks for COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund in Coastal SC
Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of donors and the Bakker family, who matched $500,000 in donations, the COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund balance now stands at more than $1.5 million, with $1.8 million total raised since the fund’s inception. Every dollar is going directly to the nonprofits working on providing medical care, food access, financial support, and more to those most impacted by the Coronavirus outbreak in the nine counties of coastal South Carolina.

The devastation of the tourism industry due to COVID-19 has led to extreme hardship for thousands of Horry County residents. Nonprofits across our community are working to help those in need, but they need our help.
The COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund has been established to provide funding to nonprofits who are providing medical care, food access and financial support to those most impacted by the coronavirus outbreak in coastal South Carolina.
If you give $20 by April 20, you’re actually generating $40 for the fund. If you give $50, you’re actually giving $100.
Support the Local Nonprofits Supporting Our Neighbors in Crisis
With a record number of South Carolinians applying for unemployment benefits amid the pandemic, it's expected that more people will rely on nonprofit services for fresh food and other necessities for the duration of the social distancing period. The COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund helps nonprofits quickly meet that increased demand.
This is a great opportunity for all of us to be the reason why our community comes together to help our most vulnerable neighbors during this pandemic. We are a community with compassion. Please donate today.
Together are in this together.
And together we are #MyrtleBeachStrong.
