Are you ready for Setting The Table Fall 2016?

With your help, Civic Engagement at Coastal Carolina University and Catholic Charities-Pee Dee will doante holiday baskets to families in need in the Grand Strand community.

Any individual, group, department or office can participate in filling a basket of food and/or any Christmas items that will be distributed at Catholic Charities- Pee Dee’s Thanksgiving Turkey and Trimmings Drive and Christmas Assistance Program. If you choose to help, please fill a reusable plastic or wicker laundry basket with items from the list below.

Please consider donating items that most of us take for granted, but would make a difference to our neighbors in the area, especially during the holiday season! Our hope is that together we can share the compassion of the Coastal Carolina family with hundreds of people this fall.
