Cliffs Residents Outreach
The families served by Cliffs Residents Outreach (CRO) are so sorely affected by the slowing economy that they must make hard choices each and every day just to survive. Many lack basic human needs for food, clothes, medical care, and shelter.
Cliffs Residents Outreach is a volunteer driven 501c3 non-profit agency that represents all of the Cliffs Communities. Our mission is helping children in our neighboring communities to learn by removing obstacles not addressed through normal channels. We are currently in five upstate schools: Tigerville, Heritage, Slater-Marietta, Holly Springs, and Tamassee-Salem. We plan to extend our services to even more children and schools near Cliffs communities in the coming year. We work with the Principals, Counselors, and Teachers in our area schools to assess the needs of the families. The needs are varied, and range from simple requests regarding food, shelter, clothing, and medical care, to school equipment, field trips and more.
Our “Snacks and Packs” program is now providing over 450 healthy snacks per day to our qualifying schools, as well as sending home each Friday backpacks filled with food for 79 families, which equates to well over 324 individuals. These are all people who want to be able to take care of themselves and their families. Sometimes they just need a little help, which we can offer together.
The Board, consisting of representatives from Glassy, Valley and Keowee communities, invites you to join them by making a contribution. One hundred percent of your donation goes directly to the children and their families, as our overhead expenses are covered by a benefactor. All donations are tax deductible, and we will provide a letter for tax purposes.
Your contribution will provide the tools to strengthen and support families and communities now and in the future generations, and is an extraordinary opportunity to become an ambassador of hope for the Carolina Preserve. It is both a great investment, as well as an opportunity to make a significant impact in the Upstate, which we have all chosen to call “home”.
Please search your heart and send your tax deductible gift today to the address below. If you have questions, would like additional information, or would like to become one of our wonderful volunteers, please contact us. Together we can help…one child at a time.
You may not know their names, but they’ll carry thanks in their hearts for your kindness and generosity. We thank you for your support.
