Press Release
Each year, Lowcountry Orphan Relief (LOR) serves between 4,000-5,000 children in the Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties that are at risk or suffering from abuse, neglect, and abandonment. From newborns to young adults, LOR staff and its dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to provide Care Kits, Just In Case Closets, children's events, and other services to support the needs of referred children.
This June and July, East Cooper Home Store will raise funds for LOR by donating a portion of the proceeds made from the sale of gently-used furniture and other home items. By donating your previously loved sofa, a working appliance that's just being upgraded or by purchasing a new chair or a furniture piece you plan to refurbish- you are helping to support children served through Lowcountry Orphan Relief.
Founded in 2006, Lowcountry Orphan Relief is a non-profit organization that provides goods and services to children who have been abused or neglected. Working directly with other organizations, schools, agencies, and foster programs, LOR identifies children in severe situations and provides individual support to each child. Monetary donations, as well as donations of new and “like new” goods are essential for LOR's mission to provide a strong and positive impact through:
