Newberry County
Young Professionals

We are a group for young professionals, ages 21-40, that live and/or work in Newberry County who work to promote and enhance leadership, civic responsibility, and professional development.

Philanthropy

H.U.G.S. DRIVE

An annual drive to collect Hats, Underwear, Gloves, and Socks for our k-12 students in the Newberry County School District. This drive takes place from October through December each year.

Little Free Pantry (LFP)

This project began in 2021. The first pantry was placed in the Mollohon community at Summer Memorial Lutheran Church, across from Mollohon Park, followed by a pantry placed in Dr. Grant Park to serve the Vincent Street community. Another is under construction at the Newberry County Career Center and is set to be placed to serve the West End Community at O'Neal Street United Methodist Church.
The community is invited to, "Take what you need. Give what you can." Help us keep the pantries stocked with non-perishable food items and hygiene products.
