Clover Area Assistance Center construction updates

CLOVER, SC - Exciting progress is underway at Clover Area Assistance Center (CAAC) as the organization nears the completion of its much anticipated Outreach and Administration Center.

Located behind CAAC’s current building at 1130 Highway 55 E, this new facility will significantly enhance CAAC’s ability to serve the Clover community, providing expanded resources and support for individuals and families in need. 

The Outreach and Administration Center will offer dedicated space for financial management courses, a conference room for community meetings, and administrative offices to better coordinate services. One of CAAC’s key goals is to empower individuals by offering financial literacy education, including budgeting, goal setting, and credit management.

This new space will allow for the expansion of these programs, creating more opportunities for community members to achieve financial stability and independence.

The center will also serve as an outreach hub, offering a welcoming environment where partner organizations can meet with clients, provide services, and collaborate with CAAC to address local needs. With this expansion, CAAC will be able to strengthen partnerships with other social service agencies, further enhancing the support available to those in need. Additionally, this expansion will allow CAAC to make updates to its full-choice food pantry, improving its ability to serve the community more effectively. By enhancing storage and accessibility, the organization will be able to offer a greater variety of food options and improve the overall shopping experience for clients. CAAC is thrilled to announce that the Outreach and Administration Center is now fully funded, thanks to the generous support of Kevin Kirsh and the Kirsh Family Foundation. 

This crucial funding ensures that the project can move forward without financial constraints, allowing CAAC to focus on enhancing services for the community. In recognition of this significant contribution, the conference room in the new building will be named in memory of Kevin’s parents, Herb and Sue Kirsh. The Kirsh family has a long history of dedication to the Clover community, and their contribution will leave a lasting impact on the lives of those served by CAAC. “This donation is a game changer for the organization,” said Cameron Hurst, CAAC’s Executive Director.

The organization is deeply grateful for their support and honored to recognize Herb and Sue Kirsh’s legacy in the new building.” The grand opening of the Outreach and Administration Center is planned for the spring of 2025. This milestone will mark a new era for CAAC, strengthening its ability to provide assistance, education, and outreach to the community.

“The Kirsh Family Foundation’s generosity ensures that this project will be fully funded, allowing CAAC to focus on its mission-helping neighbors in need.

The organization looks forward to celebrating this achievement with supporters, partners, and the entire Clover community. As the project nears completion, CAAC invites the community to stay engaged with its work. Whether through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word, public support makes a difference. Together, the community can continue to build a stronger, healthier, and more resilient Clover. For updates on the project and information on how ton get involved, community members are encouraged to visit CAAC’s website or follow the organization on social media. The organization looks forward to welcoming the public to the grand opening next spring and celebrating this incredible milestone for CAAC and the Clover community!

YORK, S.C. - just After 2 and 1/2 years at the Humane Society of York County (HSYC), Gander, a lovable terrier mix, is still waiting for his forever home. Surrendered by his previous owner, Gander has proven to be a sweet and affectionate companion, winning over the hearts of everyone at the shelter with his charm and enthusiasm. During his time at HSYC, Gander completed ZOOM ROOM training, where he showcased his sharp mind and eagerness to please. His playful personality, combined with his new skills, makes him an ideal match for a family looking for an active and loving pet. Described as “100% adorable,” Gander loves spending time with humans and would be happy to share his space with a canine sibling, provided the introductions go well. Whether it’s playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or enjoying some roughhousing, Gander is ready for a life filled with joy and affection. Gander is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested-fully prepared for his new home. Despite his long wait, shelter staff remain hopeful that the right family will offer Gander the stability and love he deserves.“He’s such a sweet boy who’s been waiting far too long for his chance at happiness,” said a shelter representative.
