Annual Charitable Giving Campaign 2025 Underway.
Please Give To Help Us Empower Our Neighbors To Thrive
ANY Amount Will Make A Difference
Our Campaign is important to the lives of those in need right here in Kershaw County. By making a generous donation, you are helping our county RISE. Grants we are blessed to receive have a matching component of 30%-50%. We need your help to meet the match and make the most of these generous gifts, maximizing their impact in our community.
We know our Programs are working and are happy to share detailed information about them with you. Donations support twelve Partner Agencies throughout Kershaw County, and help fund Programs in the areas of Health and Hunger, Education, Financial Stability, Homelessness and Transportation.
We must work together for a better life and improvement for all in Kershaw County. United, each day brings a new start, a new chance, and a new hope for everyone’s future. United We Rise.
Make a difference by making an Individual Donation.
Any amount is significant.
$5 provides a pair of dry socks for a homeless person.
$10 could feed a family of four for several days.
$50 could provide a safe place in time of need.
All donations are deeply appreciated.

Running a United Way Workplace Campaign unites employees and gives them the opportunity to donate, volunteer and advocate for the community needs that matter most to them.
Workplace Campaigns are about more than raising money; it is about taking part in the change that can happen when we all LIVE UNITED.
