Governor Mark Sanford today asked that all South Carolinians with the time and resources to do so give of themselves to help those around them.
“While the Holiday season is a time for us all to reflect on the blessings we have, it’s more importantly a time to take action to help bring the Christmas spirit to others in need. That can mean helping the family across the street or someone two counties over, but we all know or are related to someone who has been hit very hard by the troubling economic times we find ourselves in,” Gov. Sanford said. “In many cases people who have given of themselves in the past are now turning to their friends and neighbors for help. It’s with that in mind that Jenny, the boys and me would encourage all South Carolinians to do what they can in filling the needs of others.”
