Free Medical Clinic of Darlington County gets grant
This fall, Free Medical Clinic of Darlington County was one of 77 nonprofit organizations to receive Fall Caritas Grant funding from Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina. The Fall Caritas Grant is issued to S.C. nonprofits that meet the immediate needs of people experiencing poverty throughout South Carolina.
“Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina is inspired by the recipients of the 2019 Fall Caritas Grant. These nonprofits use grant funding to address immediate needs and enhance people’s lives across our great state,” said Tom Keith, president of Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina. “By being knowledgeable about their communities, our grantee partners are able to provide valuable services. They’re also examples of good to the rest of us.”
The mission of The Free Medical Clinic of Darlington County is to promote the physical, emotional and spiritual health of all who need its services. The grant from Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina will fund programming geared toward meeting the medical needs of the uninsured patients in Darlington County as they arise.
“The clinic would not survive without the donation of funds and services from our community and generous organizations such as the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina. We are grateful for the support they offer to our community,” said Stephen Edwards, Executive Director, Free Medical Clinic of Darlington County.
This cycle’s Fall Caritas grant recipients serve all of South Carolina’s counties, and several of these nonprofits provide services across the state.
