Charleston Responds

November 20, 2013
In 1989 Hurricane Hugo slammed into the coast of South Carolina, devastating the Charleston and surrounding areas. Thanks to the generosity and support of others, the Holy City rebuilt and blossomed in the aftermath of disaster. Charlestonians know the value of a helping hand and the difference generosity in others can make during recovery. Charleston Responds | Safe water for the Philippines through Water Missions International People are waiting for relief. Will you respond? #CHSresponds This unique perspective gives Charleston a wonderful opportunity to respond to those in need in the Philippines. We know how one storm can destroy our homes and our community, but we also know the we can rise up better and stronger than before. Mayor Joe Riley, the Holy City’s hospitality industry, and some of Charleston’s own media, who give our city her voice, are leading Charleston Responds, calling all our Charleston neighbors to join Water Missions International in an effort to provide relief for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Water Missions is currently working on the ground in the Philippines, having already mobilized relief effort to supply safe drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people. While we have the capacity to help even more, our efforts are limited by two obstacles: logistics and support. The Holy City can spread hope by supporting our organization, and in doing so save lives and give the promise of a better tomorrow.
