Good Deed Friday Charity Event

The Greater Cayce-West Columbia Chamber of Commerce will hold its seventh annual Good Deed Friday Charity Event on Friday, April 3. Hosted by The Balance Institute, Good Deed Friday was originally created by the Ambassadors of the Greater Cayce/West Columbia Chamber of Commerce in 2009 in order to recognize the specific needs of local charities and assist them through tough economic times throughout the year, not just seasonally as is often the case. On Good Friday, local residents are encouraged to support their area nonprofit organizations located nearby by bringing gently used, or new, items to the Balance Institute for processing and distribution. Items needed include clothing, furniture, toys, pet items, nonperishable food items, blankets and other bedding.

Charity items donated will benefit the Chris Myers Children's Place, Lexington Interfaith Community Services, Pet's Inc. and the Woman's Club of Cayce (which supports God's Helping Hands, Foster Children of the Midlands and the Cancer "Care Caps" Project).
