The 1000 at Work

The 1000 continues to identify and bring together groups of individuals that can help deliver desired outcomes.  It’s collaboration at work. To that end, common interest need groups are being identified to help us in our mission.  An example of this is ‘Faith in Action’ — the Orangeburg County Community of Character Faith Committee broadening their scope to include the work of One Orangeburg County. Click here for more information about this group.

A ‘Community Vibrancy’ committee is also being considered.  The interest of caring citizens is driving the direction of the grass roots movement.
