One great thing that has come from the pandemic has been watching the moments where our community has come together to thrive. Many local businesses and individuals have used their money, talents, and time to keep our community in good spirits. Here are a few moments captured over the past couple of months where people have helped those in need.
Thank you three-year-old Hawkins Anderson for your dedication and commitment to service in leading future generations. Hawkins and his family attended a twinkle parade at McLeod Regional Medical Center in April.
Todd, Templin, and Sandy Hardee purchased the old Post Office on Pearl Street in Darlington. While they have worked to update the building, they invited the community to Car Church where a different pastor from the area would preach on the loading dock of the building, bringing much peace to the community.
