Upstate for Hurricane Harvey

Greenville is roughly 1,000 miles away from Texas and Hurricane Harvey. But, S.C. residents are no stranger to hurricanes and the damage they can have on a coastal state.

That’s why residents, nonprofits, businesses, churches and schools from around the area are pitching in all sorts of ways to help with the disaster relief.

Eastside High School is working to collect donatable items alongside other community groups in the area.

• Medshore Ambulance Service (Anderson) has sent 20 people and 10 ambulances

• The City of Greenville has sent emergency personnel and supplies

• The Fountain Inn Fire Department is collecting donations

• The Salvation Army of Greenville is collecting money to purchase supplies for the hurricane survivors
