Senator Kevin Johnson presented a check to the Clarendon County Community Development Corporation (CCCDC) that will go to helping families throughout Clarendon County.
The check, for the amount of $100,000, will supply assistance with food, children's clothing, or utility bill assistance in the amount of $150.00.
The CCCDC released the following announcment:
“The Clarendon County Community Development Corporation located at 625 Spencer ST., Manning, SC will begin PHASE I of its recent community initiative grant for low-to-moderate income families of Clarendon County. Qualified families may apply for assistance with food, children’s clothing (age 5-15), OR Utility Bill assistance in the amount of $150.00. Only ONE category per family can be selected.

This check comes from funding that Johnson requested in the state budget.
“[I requested this money] to help [the CCCDC] as they continue to help others in our community,” said Johnson in a recent Facebook post. “I am proud to have personally brought back millions of dollars to Senate District 36 to help with some very worthwhile projects and to help those who are in desperate need of help.”
