OUR PROGRAMS
- Genesis Community Foundation is helping to fund scholarships for students in need of financial assistance to attend Florence Darlington Technical College to advance their education at the college level.
- The Macedonia Life-Skills Centers provide mentoring and tutoring to disadvantaged and underserved young people, as well as a safe, supervised place to engage in fun and creative learning activities. These activities encourage positive behavior, and will have a lasting effect on their lives. Programs focus on life-skills, bible study, reading, health & wellness, career exploration, and more.
- The Foundation provides funding for a weekend food program for disadvantaged students in the Darlington County School District. Each student receives a backpack of food on Friday to assure they have adequate, healthy meals for the weekend. The program also provides clothing, toiletries and school supplies to students as needed.
