We were so delighted to have actor Sterling Brown, best known for his role in Army Wives, stop by our facility for a tour. Mr. Brown was so impressed with the work that LOR does; he offered to shoot a video to create awareness for our non-profit. Many thanks for all your help Mr. Brown!!!

Mayor Riley Attends Candlelight Vigil

Regina — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:37:50 +0000

LOR was so pleased that Mayor Riley agreed to represent the City of Charleston by attending the Candlelight Vigil. The Blue Ribbon Council of South Carolina hosted this wonderful event to honor the victims of child abuse. It is LOR’s hope that events like these will increase awareness of child abuse right here in our backyard.

Sydney Cox volunteered her time to make bookmarks for the Blue Ribbon Council of South Carolina, in honor of Child Abuse Awareness Month. We all appreciate how many bookmarks Sydney made and the time she took to do this for such a great cause.

Some Groups that have helped LOR out recently

We could never manage to get these orders out to the children we help without the strong support of our volunteers, especially volunteer groups who can accomplish so much in just one day. Thank you to all who have spent a day at LOR!

MUSC packs LOR with donations!!!

Regina — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:00:58 +0000

Students from MUSC’s Masters in Health Administration Program were asked to complete a student project for a non-profit organization as part of their Healthcare Operations and Project Management class. Annie Tsui was designated as the project manager and her team organized the “Lowcountry Orphan Relief Uniform and Capital Drive.” Individual drives were set up at Pinewood Prep, St. Andrew’s City Church and Bishop England. The drives were all successful, particularly at Pinewood Prep. When Annie and her group dropped off the donations to LOR, we couldn’t fit them in our barn! Thanks again to a wonderful group of students and a job well done!

North Raleigh Christian Academy

These generous, young people from North Raleigh Christian Academy spent three days with us at Lowcountry Orphan Relief, sorting through donations and filling orders for the children we serve. Their help certainly did not go unnoticed, and we cannot thank them enough for devoting their time to our cause. Volunteers like them are vital to our organization!

We are so grateful for these happy volunteers and their help!

Valentines from His Radio Network

This Valentine’s Day, Lowcountry Orphan Relief received some heartfelt Valentines from His Radio. We sent these off with clothes and supplies to children in need, and surely helped them feel loved. Thank you so much to His Radio, and all the children who put their love into making these sweet Valentines!

Birthday Gifts for LOR

Regina — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:11:19 +0000

Little 6-year old Sayde Handegan collected donations for LOR instead of receiving gifts for her birthday. She also brought stuffed animals that she still had a great fondness for. It was hard for her to let go of some of her favorite stuffed critters, but she did so knowing that another child would be so HAPPY to love them like she did. Thanks Sayde for proving that even the youngest can make a big difference!
