MYRTLE BEACH, SC – Big news is making waves across the Pee Dee region as several organizations dedicated to helping victims of crimes are about to get a financial boost! This comes courtesy of South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who recently announced some generous grant allocations aimed at enhancing support services for those in need.
These grants are distributed under the Department of Crime Victim Assistance Grants, which operate under the umbrella of the attorney general’s office. This funding plays a crucial role in helping organizations that provide critical support and services to victims of crime. The best part?

These grants are crucial for our local communities, offering a lifeline to those who have been affected by crime. The organizations that benefit from this funding provide vital resources, counseling, and direct assistance that can help victims reclaim their lives. Whether it’s providing a safe place to stay or counseling services to help navigate the traumatic aftermath of a crime, these organizations make a monumental difference in the lives of many.
