Attend the February 15th Greenville County Council meeting and help represent Greer. On February 15th, Greer Relief hopes to have a strong turnout of staff, neighbors & volunteers at the regular Greenville County Council meeting. Why? We are working to raise awareness of our organization and build relationships with County Council members. The events of the last two years have demonstrated the great impact of County Council’s decisions on the mission of Greer Relief: the funding we have received from the county’s Coronavirus Relief Fund is one example. Please: arrive to council chambers at 301 University Ridge no later than 5:50 pmsit together with the Greer Relief Team on the front right side of the council chambersplan to stay until the end of the meeting, which should be around 7:30 pm. At the end of the meeting, each council member can make comments and announcements, and it’s at this time that we expect to be recognized after the meeting, help us follow up with council members (especially ours) by phone, email, or note letting them know you were present and thanking them for their service. RENEW: Reaching Every Neighbor Every Way is an education, enrichment, and life skills program designed to improve the quality of life and well-being of our neighbors. RENEW classes focus on job services, financial wellness, and healthy living. RENEW relies on a network of staff and community supporters to produce and execute classes. RENEW engages neighbors in need by involving them in the process of determining a path for success, participating in local RENEW classes, and the opportunity to earn RENEW Rewards. RENEW Rewards are earned by attending and participating in RENEW classes and may be redeemed for either household / personal items or for participation in the Christmas Morning Shoppe.
