Big things are coming to small towns across South Carolina! 🌱

We’re excited to share the launch of Project Hometown SC, a new two-year initiative led by Main Street South Carolina and the Municipal Association of South Carolina to strengthen community identity, support workforce stability, and promote long-term population retention in rural communities.

With support from a $305,000 SCRC grant and strong local partnerships, Project Hometown SC will focus on Cheraw, Hartsville, and Walterboro—and the South Carolina Office of Rural Health is proud to serve as a core partner in this work.

Yesterday, we wrapped up our final event of 2025 with Aging in Rural SC, a meaningful conversation about how our rural communities can support a growing senior population.

As more people choose to age in South Carolina or move here for retirement, it’s critical that our rural areas are equipped to foster quality of life, social connection, and access to essential resources.

We were grateful to hear from rural organizations, community members, and partners who are working every day to ensure seniors across rural SC can continue living some of the best days of their lives.

We can’t wait to continue this important conversation in 2026 and build on the momentum together!

This week, our team closed out the final two events of our Regional Roadshows, celebrating 10 years of community-driven impact across rural South Carolina.

The project leveraged more than $2 million to improve health outcomes through direct awards to coalitions and funding for local initiatives. From 2015 to 2025, it engaged 22 rural communities, hosted 100 leadership trainings (365+ hours), trained nearly 400 community leaders, and put 53 Vision for Health strategies into action.

We’re grateful to our coalition partners, community leaders, and staff whose dedication has shaped a decade of progress. Here’s to continuing the work that strengthens rural South Carolina.
