Keep Berkeley Beautiful Receives $10K Grant To Increase Litter Prevention

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – Keep Berkeley Beautiful (KBB) has received PalmettoPride’s Keep South Carolina Beautiful (KSCB) Annual Support Grant for $10,000 to help fund and implement initiatives, programs, and projects designed to increase litter prevention across Berkeley County.

The grant provides local Keep America Beautiful (KAB) affiliates in South Carolina with a competitive financial opportunity to add additional resources that address specific local litter concerns.

“Keep Berkeley Beautiful’s litter cleanup achievements are a result of the development and investment in solutions our volunteers and residents can be active participants. Thanks to this funding from our partnership with PalmettoPride, training from Keep South Carolina Beautiful, and the support from our local and state elected officials, we can proudly say we are leaders in developing and sustaining clean and beautiful communities,” said Sarah McCarthy Smith, Keep Berkeley Beautiful Executive Director.

Funds were awarded to KBB for litter programs in the community including numerous roadway and boat landing cleanups.  These are just a few examples of how the support grant addresses litter issues through positive environmental, social, and financial impacts
