Who we serve |
|
| Partnering with principals and counselors at elementary schools near each of the Cliffs communities, we are able to identify children in need of food, clothing, shelter, or medical care. CRO set the goal of removing as many of these obstacles for our children as possible, thereby enabling them to focus on learning. We pride ourselves on taking care of the needs immediately, usually the same day the request is received, and with no "red tape". | CRO currently serves 5 elementary schools within the South Carolina Upstate.17.5% of families in the upstate areas live below the poverty line---which is an annual income of less than $22,050 for a family of four. One in five children living in poverty are homeless. Approximately 13% of adults living in the Upstate are functionally illiterate. People who lack basic human necessities are concerned with day-to-day survival, and often must choose between buying food, paying rent, or purchasing medications. The children of these families need our assistance. |
