HORRY COUNTY, SC (WBTW) – A group of non-profit organizations are working to create an Horry County Long Term Recovery Group in response to October’s historic flooding.
Kelly Kaminski, regional coordinator for Catholic Charities, tells News13 the group is searching for volunteers to help with its management and development in Horry County. Kaminski says it is looking to fill several critical positions on the steering committee, including chairman, secretary, case management, and fundraising.
On March 9, people interested in volunteering are asked to bring a resume or list of work projects previously managed to the Carolina Forest Recreation Center between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to participate in the Horry County Long Term Recovery Group Steering Committee meeting.
Kaminski says Catholic Charities has analyzed unmet needs in Horry County since October’s flooding, and has found there is still a significant need. She says the most critical areas are in roofing, flooring and mold removal; however, river levels have prevented work from beginning on many properties.
Kaminski says the goal of the group is to pair residents in need with organizations who can provide critical services to help them recover from flooding damage.
Similar Long Term Recovery Groups have been formed in Georgetown County and Florence County.
