Community Connections

We believe strong community connections are essential to serving our community and loving our neighbor well.

Besides our ongoing programs, we serve on the Board of Directors for our First Steps Program, and we serve on the Board of Directors of FEMA for Saluda County Clemson Extension Advisory Council, as well as being a member of the Saluda Service Network.

This is all in addition to serving as an advisory role to our law enforcement agencies, local schools, and DSS as it pertains to children and families in crisis.

We also believe that when we help our community at large, we are also helping children as a whole.

We have helped countless families while working with our local utilities grant, guaranteeing that children have essential electricity in their homes. When our impoverished community needed census workers, we canvased our community - ensuring that every child counts. We also regularly advocate in court rooms for our local foster families and children.

The Potter's House has rarely faced a need that it did not try to meet.

The word 'No' is a hard one to give when hearts are big and needs are so great. This is why we are often the first call that schools and agencies make when a local need or a family crisis arises.

This was certainly the case when a paraplegic woman was in desperate need of an air conditioner in the sweltering summer. Or when a single mother of five needed a new stove. Or when an overwhelmed and widowed grandmother raising her two grandchildren needed her house cleaned.

We have raised funds for children's urgent dental care and partnered with local dental clinicians. And we have provided appliances for both domestic violence victims and single moms - because it's the right thing to do when you truly love your neighbor.
