Bob Pelletier Clothing Program

It is difficult to grasp the essential truth that there are kids in our community for whom basic clothing (shorts, pants, shoes, socks, underwear, pajamas, etc.) is almost a luxury. The average cost to clothe a child with basic needs is $150.

Although we never directly interact with the kids we help, we are kept aware of the heartbreaking situations some kids are in. Fortunately, we are blessed to hear heartwarming stories from guidance counselors, nurses and other referring partners of instances where we made a difference when no one else was there. To apply for this program please visit any  Georgetown County School Nurse. They will assist in completing all clothing requests for children.

Dr. Martin "Marty" Rosol Orthodontic Program

St. Christopher’s Children has made major progress in meeting the clothing needs of kids in crisis. Another challenge is to help kids who are struggling in school because they cannot get medical care. St. Christopher’s steps in to refer children needing  orthodontic treatment care to appropriate medical professionals. We are blessed to have available to us  dentists who have donated more than $500,000 in services since our formation in December, 2007.

No One Else is There because:
– South Carolina Medicaid does not provide Orthodontic Treatment for these children
– Parents/caretakers are unable to provide for the needy children
– Parents/caretakers have exhausted all other avenues of assistance.

As of January 2023, STCC has helped 300 children, with ten plus waiting. It’s too early to know the specifics of how these stories will end but we are confident we are helping these kids get healthier and gain increased self esteem – important determinants of how well they will do as students.  To apply for this program please visit any Georgetown County School District School Nurse and obtain an application. All applications must include a referral from the child’s dentist indicating the orthodontic need.
