In 2022, Santee Cooper launched Community Cares to bring neighbors together in support of neighbors. We know from time to time, many families face unexpected financial hardships. Sometimes a little help can make all the difference.

Every contribution, no matter the size, goes directly toward helping someone keep their lights on during a difficult time.

We are currently accepting donations so we can continue offering assistance whenever funds are available.

Thanks to caring customers like you, $47,798 had already been donated by the beginning of 2026.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation today. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
