A local Christian housing ministry continues to serve during the pandemic, including joining a statewide effort to provide thousands of masks to nonprofit organizations.
The Masking a Difference Day effort provided 175,000 masks and 2,800 gallons of hand sanitizer to nonprofit partners across the state. In total, over 300 organizations received supplies at 17 Habitat locations throughout South Carolina. Edisto Habitat for Humanity was one of them. Habitats for Humanity across the state are committed to safely serving South Carolinians during the pandemic, EHFH Executive Director Jessica Burgoyne said.
EHFH held its Masking a Difference Day on Aug. 12. Orangeburg nonprofits were able to request supplies of personal protective equipment for operational support for volunteers, staff and clients.
