The City of Florence would like to thank our outstanding employees for their generosity and commitment to our community. In addition to their contributions to the SC Youth Advocate Program earlier this week, employees donated $50,196 to the United Way Campaign (the largest employee donation to date), provided $7,138 to the American Heart Association, and collected nonperishable food items for Harvest Hope during today’s employee Christmas luncheon. These efforts were further supported by the 2,907 lbs of food donated during the Clemson vs. Carolina Food Drive Competition in November. We are proud of our generous employees who recognize the importance of supporting and giving back to the community we serve. #CityofFlorenceSC #FullLifeFullForward
