Thank You to the Difference Makers
W
hen you visit a Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina campus, you will quickly notice a number of things: an attractive and comfortable campus, a warm and caring staff, friendly and engaging residents. You will also notice a broad range of activities and programs to support the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of our residents. But these things did not just spring forth out of thin air. So much of what you see at a Presbyterian community is the direct result of generous donors.
