A special statewide monetary fund has been established by South Carolina School Boards Association and SC Future Minds to assist students in school districts displaced by the historic flooding in South Carolina.
Schools looking for ways to help their fellow schools in the 16 SC counties declared as disaster areas who have suffered significant damage and loss can visit www.floodreliefforscschools.org for more information or to donate or can text “SCSchools” to 71777. SC Future Minds is the only 501(c)3 non-profit that organizes private support for the state’s public K-12 public schools.
The funds, which will be divided among the school districts, will be used for school-related supplies and programs targeting affected students and could include purchasing school supplies, assisting with after school programs, or providing a program offering food in backpacks to take home, etc.
