MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with North Strand Helping Hand to collect, sort and deliver donated clothing and other items for victims of the Horry County wildfire.
NSHH is requesting clothing of all sizes. Only spring and summer items are being accepted due to limited storage space. Khaki pants, black pants and white shirts are specifically requested for those working in the service industry. The MBACC asks that men's, women's and children's clothing be bagged separately to help with the sorting process.
In addition to clothing, NSHH has expressed a need for toiletries, bedding items and small household items such as pots and pans for those displaced.
Donations should be taken to the MBACC's main office at 1200 N. Oak St. during these times:
Saturday, April 25: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Sunday, April 26: 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Monday, April 27-Friday, May 1: 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Chamber staff will sort donated clothing according to size and gender and will deliver collected items to NSHH.
To receive donated items, fire victims should take their American Red Cross referral letter to NSHH at 2501 Long Bay Rd., Longs.
