Congaree Cares - a nonprofit 501(c)(3)

Congaree Cares was founded in 2020 by Sylvia Corley-Drennan. She has worked in the community over the past 55 years, helping put on programs and events that had never been done within the town. Congaree Cares became a 501(c)(3) organization shortly after its founding because she and her committee wanted to continue bringing events and programs into the community. Some of the events, like their Halloween Spooktacular, bring in thousands of people each year. They also volunteer outside of their community.
