MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – The Family Justice Center of Horry and Georgetown Counties is partnering with the Horry County Fundraising Chair, Fred Nesta, in an effort to give Christmas gifts to victims of domestic violence.
They are collecting toys, shoes, clothes, and toiletries to make it easier on the families, and give them a nice Christmas despite their situation.“Christmas is a wonderful time of year for most people,” said director of The Family Justice Center of Horry and Georgetown Counties, Vicki Bourous. “But the clients that we serve are often adjusting to a life away from their home, and away from what they know, because they’ve had to flee a dangerous, domestic violence situation.”
She said she is thankful for the community support in making a Christmas for the families in need.
“They ask for the bare essentials,” said Nesta. “If we can’t help those most in need, then what are we doing?”
There are drop boxes with a list of items needed in different places around Horry County. The deadline to drop off any items is Dec. 19 in order to give the justice center time to wrap the gifts for Christmas.
