With volunteer opportunities ranging from animal and wildlife rescue to arts and culture, and community improvement and support, Upstate South Carolina offers residents a chance to tap into their creativity when it comes to enriching quality of life for all.
Just look to The Greenville Humane Society, one of the largest no-kill facilities in the Southeast. Or Trees Upstate, a 501c3 dedicated to the mission of planting more trees in Upstate parks, schools and neighborhoods.
Upstate SC is a community where people aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. One case in point is United Way Hands On Greenville Day.
