Lowcountry Lawyers Focus on Service
July 31, 2023
The South Carolina Chapter of the Federal Bar Association (FBA) engages in a service project each year to benefit the communities where the members live and work.
On July 13, members of the FBA came together in Charleston, Columbia and Greenville to pack on-the-go meal kits for the Ronald McDonald House Charleston (RHMC). This program provides a much-needed support service to families taking care of their sick children, who often do not have the time, funds, or energy to prepare a healthy, home-cooked meal. Members put together about 150 meal packs, each decorated with a special message to lift the spirits of the recipients.
“It is our privilege to provide some relief to the families who are singularly focused on keeping their children healthy,” said Cheryl Shoun, FBA Chapter President and Shareholder at Maynard Nexsen. “This is our way to wish them well and ease some of their stress, so they can concentrate on more important things.”
In addition to the RMHC project, the FBA Chapter also donated $5,000 to the World Central Kitchen, a global organization that is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises.
