The third weekly challenge of #yalltogetherSC – celebrating S.C. nonprofits, supporters + their stories – is “Empower Y’all,” announced yesterday by Together SC via Facebook live.

On the week of the midterm election, “Empower Y’all” calls for organizations + individuals to reach out to their legislators to remind them how important nonprofit organizations are to life in S.C. See how to do that here.

Share these empowering messages on social media this week now through next Tuesday – using the hashtags #yalltogetherSC and #COLAtoday. We’ll pick a few of the most empowering posts to share here in our newsletter next Wednesday.

Here are a few of our favorite posts from last week’s challenge, “Entice Y’all,” which called for folks and organizations to share the sweet treats they’ve given + received as part of their charity work:
