Dorchester
Seniors, Inc, a non-profit organization based in Summerville and St. George,
has been working through the COVID-19 pandemic, providing meals to seniors
across Dorchester County. From March to May, Dorchester Seniors has distributed
23,183 meals, and still has six days remaining in the month with meal
deliveries.
Dorchester
Seniors prepares all meals within the Summerville location and distributes them
out at both centers via the home delivered meal program. Monday through Friday
each week, seniors receive a hot nutritious meal, 1/3 RDA approved, and two
additional meals for the weekend. Currently, Dorchester Seniors has 12 routes
delivering meals, nine in Summerville and three in St. George. “Having the
ability to provide daily personal contact through this isolation period is very
important,” stated Jean K. Ott, Executive Director, “that is why we have
decided to continue daily meal delivery rather than one delivery weekly.” This
allowed Dorchester Seniors to assist seniors with basic needs such as toiletry
items, nonperishables, and paper products through the pandemic. The
organization is proud to say following CDC guidelines and safety protocol, they
have remained open through the COVID-19 closures.
Through
closings due to social distancing and quarantine, Dorchester Seniors has
followed CDC guidelines on contactless deliveries for seniors at home.
Partnering with LowCountry Food Bank, Joy Campbell and I Serve With Joy, and
Trident Area on Aging, Dorchester Seniors has been able to provide commodity
boxes, cereal, and nutritional education to seniors while they are safe at
home. “The greatest of all things,” says Ott, “is our dedicated volunteers, who
have assisted with packing meals and delivering them in the community during
this time.”
Remaining
cautious, the Summerville location has opened to limited public for wellness
and fitness classes. These classes are practicing social distancing and must be
enrolled through the 50+ Fit program. With group dining not being available,
Dorchester Seniors is still providing meals to seniors through their homebound
meal program weekly and are always looking for volunteers. If you would like to
volunteer in the Summerville or St. George area, please call (843) 871-5053.
Due to the
amount of seniors being served during this pandemic, anyone can donate items to
Dorchester Seniors through Amazon Smile and their website wish list at www.dorchesterseniors.com .

Blackbaud
(NASDAQ: BLKB), the world’s leading cloud software company powering social
good, today releases its eighth annual Industry Review, which
provides key learnings and trends in employee philanthropic behavior and
companies’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. The 2020 report
analyzes data from a subset of Blackbaud customers, 150 companies and nearly
4.5 million employees, collected between January and December 2019 within
Blackbaud’s YourCause CSRconnect® and GrantsConnect®
solutions.
“This
review tells a powerful story of companies that seek to deepen the connection
they have with the people who walk through their doors – literally and
virtually – every day,” said Rachel Hutchisson, vice president, corporate
citizenship and philanthropy, Blackbaud. “Although the data was collected
before the COVID-19 pandemic, this time has emphasized how important it is to
align around social impact and the important role companies play in driving
change and inspiring and empowering employees to support the causes they care
about.”
Key
findings from this year’s Industry Review include:
Employees
are more likely to engage when companies offer both giving and
volunteering opportunities – 75% of companies that offer
both giving and volunteering opportunities for their employees have twice
the engagement of companies only offering one or the other.
Employees
who donate are more likely to donate again
– Once employees become donors, 87% of them will become returning donors
year over year.
Connection
is key – Employees who work from a
company’s headquarters location are engaged in giving 2.5 times more than
remote employees.
Companies
on opposite ends of the employee size spectrum are alike in giving
behaviors – Companies with under 1,000
employees and over 100,000 employees are donating the most.
Bringing
like-minded employees together can be effective
– Companies that offer employee groups through CSRconnect see an
approximate 12:1 employee engagement rate ratio when compared to companies
that do not offer groups to employees.
Think
globally – More than half of companies
evaluated have a global giving and/or volunteering element to their
program, and when comparing 2018 to 2019, the average annual donation
amount per global employee jumped 32%.
This
year’s Industry Review provides data-driven insights for CSR and
employee engagement professionals to benchmark their programs and learn from
others, so they can continue to expand and maximize the effects of their
philanthropic efforts. The robust report looks at programs and employee
engagement by geographic region – both in the U.S. and globally – and also
analyzes companies of all sizes to provide a holistic view of the current
industry.

Boeing transported more than 150,000 protective eye goggles and face shields as part of the company’s ongoing COVID-19 airlift efforts
Partnered with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to deliver the goggles and face shields to frontline health care professionals in the MUSC Health system
PPE to be used by MUSC Health care team members to assist with statewide COVID-19 community testing and outreach efforts, which are critical to recovery and a staged economic revitalization
CHICAGO, May 11, 2020
/PRNewswire/ — Boeing
[NYSE: BA] today completed another set of COVID-19 airlift missions, deploying
three Dreamlifter aircraft to transport more than 150,000 protective eye
goggles and face shields from China to the United States. Boeing worked in partnership with
the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to
deliver the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care
professionals in the MUSC system.
“Today’s delivery puts essential personal protective equipment in the
hands of South Carolina’s frontline health care
professionals and helps MUSC further support the community during the COVID-19
pandemic,” said Boeing President and CEO Dave
Calhoun. “I am incredibly proud of our Boeing team members
throughout the world for their work to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and
thankful for our government and industry partners that have joined us in the
pandemic response.”
The MUSC Health team will use the PPE as they support the revitalization of the
economy and ramp-up COVID-19 community outreach efforts, including diagnostic
testing and antibody testing, across South Carolina.
MUSC Health, under the guidance of the South Carolina Legislature and in
partnership with South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
(DHEC), has established mobile screening and collection sites in rural and
underserved areas.
The mobile setup allows health care providers to rotate sites, reaching
people experiencing barriers to health care access for COVID-19 screening.
Rural and underserved communities have experienced disparities in access to
COVID-19 screening, testing, prevention and treatment in South Carolina and across the U.S.
The MUSC Health team leading this effort were the first in the U.S. to
launch a combined virtual urgent care platform and drive-through specimen
collection site. They are now bringing a version of this successful model to
the communities that need it most.
“On behalf of our entire MUSC family, I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Boeing team for helping to make today’s critical PPE shipment possible,” said MUSC President, David J. Cole, M.D., FACS. “These goggles and face shields will allow us to continue to expand our ability to test and monitor for COVID-19 as businesses and communities start to move forward. Increasing access to testing in the areas of greatest need throughout our state is an essential part of this work. We must continue to protect our most vulnerable populations. Boeing and MUSC have a longstanding partnership, and today’s delivery is yet another example of two great South Carolina institutions coming together in support of our local community.”
Similar to previous airlift missions flown by the Dreamlifter – a converted
Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter – the medical cargo was transported in the
lower lobe of all three aircraft, while 787 component parts were flown in the
main deck cargo hold. Boeing donated the cost of the mission transport, with
Atlas Air operating the flights on behalf of Boeing. Boeing has scheduled
additional flights, to deliver a total of 400,000 units of PPE to MUSC, in the
near future.
Boeing continues to support local communities and the heroic health care professionals working
tirelessly to stop the spread of COVID-19. Boeing is coordinating closely with
U.S. government officials on how to best assist areas with the greatest need.
Leadership Support
“We are grateful for the role Boeing continues to play in collaborating
with our health care professionals to help ensure our frontline workers in the
fight against COVID-19 have the equipment they need to stay safe while caring
for our people.” – South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster
“I want to thank all those who worked so hard to ensure this shipment
of critical PPE is arriving in Charleston today.
Protecting our frontline health care workers, who put their lives on the line
every single day, is absolutely essential, and this will help MUSC do exactly
that.” – Sen. Tim Scott
“Our frontline health care workers have proven themselves to be the
heroes of the crisis we are facing, and the folks at MUSC are a great example
of that. I am immensely grateful for all the work they have done to care for
South Carolinians. We’ve seen Americans rise to meet the immense challenges we
are facing time and time again, and companies like Boeing are no exception.
Thank you for ensuring that our frontline health care professionals have the
necessary resources to fight this virus.” – Rep. Joe
Cunningham (SC-01)
“I am grateful to the Boeing Dreamlifters for bringing PPE to MUSC. In
this time of incredible uncertainty, I am thankful to see private and public
organizations come together to help keep our community healthy and
safe. As a native Charlestonian, I know firsthand that MUSC Health works
hard to protect our families, especially now from the coronavirus, and they
will continue to help our community recover from this pandemic. I appreciate
Boeing for supporting such an important cause.” – Rep. Joe Wilson (SC-02)
“It’s incredible to see American companies rise to meet the numerous
challenges our nation faces in this battle against COVID-19. I’m particularly
proud of Boeing for airlifting personal protective equipment to South Carolina for the MUSC hospital system. MUSC
Lancaster and MUSC Chester are two critical health care facilities in South Carolina’s 5th Congressional
District and I’m extremely grateful for them, as well as companies
like Boeing who are working hard behind the scenes to support our
nation’s health care efforts.” – Rep. Ralph Norman
(SC-05)
“I’m grateful for the dedicated workers we have in South Carolina – from the manufacturing lines to the
front lines – and today’s delivery is another example of how South Carolinians
come together. Being able to expand our testing efforts at this level is
critical in helping us tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and care for our community.
Team work across industries and organizations demonstrates the spirit of our
State. Thank you to everyone, especially MUSC and Boeing, who made today’s
vital delivery possible.” – South Carolina State Senator Marlon Kimpson
(District 42)
“Through the generosity and logistical might of Boeing, our local
health care providers are receiving much needed equipment to keep them safe
while they care for the most vulnerable in our community. We should all be
inspired by the efforts of Boeing and their teammates, because together, all
challenges can be met.” – North Charleston

Mount Pleasant history publisher, Arcadia Publishing, has acquired a New Orleans book publisher that specializes in regional books about the city and the surrounding area, the company said in a news release.
Scott Campbell founded River Road Press in 2014 after previously working at Pelican Publishing, which Arcadia bought last year.
He will join Arcadia as the publisher of Pelican Publishing. River Road
Press will merge its catalog with Pelican Publishing’s list.

Having previously spent a decade at Pelican, I have the deepest appreciation for its unique role in New Orleans culture,” Campbell said in a statement.
Arcadia President and CEO David Steinberger said he was glad someone with Campbell’s background was rejoining the company to lead Pelican Publishing.
“I couldn’t be more pleased that this innovative company will join with Pelican, which has such an esteemed legacy of publishing in New Orleans and the surrounding region,” Steinberger said in a statement.
Arcadia has been on an acquisition tear. In August 2019, the company also purchased Wildsam, a guidebook publisher based in Austin, Texas. Pelican Publishing is much older than Wildsam, which was founded in 2012. Pelican was founded in 1926 and has a catalog of more than 2,000 titles.
Arcadia’s books can be found nationally in specialty and chain retailers. Many of the publisher’s books rely heavily on historic photographs, publishing images, and information targeted to the local area where the books are sold. Some of the titles focus on specific subjects within a historic context, such as vintage postcards, true crime, military, sports figures, and ghost stories, among others.
CHARLESTON, S.C., May
11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT),
a technology platform provider enabling rapid innovation for employers, health
plans and consumers, has launched For You SC, an initiative to offer a selection of
health insurance, life insurance, financial services and lifestyle benefits for
residents of South Carolina who have been
impacted by the economic downturn caused by COVID-19.
ForYouSC.com directs South Carolinians to a range of insurance, benefits and
resources, some of which are only available in the state. This offering,
accessible online or via mobile devices, is designed to provide a wide array of
options to those facing unemployment or economic uncertainty during this crisis
through a single digital experience.
“Our mission is to connect consumers to the benefits and services that
improve their lives and, since the onset of this crisis, we have worked
diligently and quickly to help those most directly affected,” said Ray August, president and CEO of Benefitfocus. “We
are now paying particular attention to helping those in our home state. For
You SC is our initial effort to present a state-focused option to residents
who may need them the most.”
Through the end of 2020, Benefitfocus will donate profits generated through For You SC to the One SC Fund: COVID-19 Response. This partnership
between SC Grantmakers Network, Together SC, and the United Way Association of SC will enhance the efforts
already underway in several counties and regions across South Carolina to address gaps in the response
efforts, including support for communities that lack resources or an organized
philanthropic response.
Benefits Options for South Carolina Residents According to the U.S. Labor Department, more than 33 million Americans have filed for unemployment insurance in a seven-week period since the start of the coronavirus crisis. Millions of other self-employed workers have seen their income shrink. Many now have to find benefit plans to replace those provided by their former employers or to revisit their current benefits to determine if they meet their needs, and they will have to do so without the help of an employer.
South Carolina residents visiting
ForYouSC.com will find information to help them easily navigate the process of
choosing specific benefit options that meet their personal needs, many of which
are only available within the state, including short- and long-term health
plans from a local provider. Additionally, Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company,
headquartered in Columbia, is offering accident,
dental and whole life insurance.
“We are proud to partner with other South
Carolina companies to help protect the families, finances and futures of
Palmetto State residents,” said Tim Arnold,
president and CEO of Colonial Life. “It’s important for families facing
unexpected hardships to be able to rely on valuable insurance coverage to
remain physically and financially healthy.”
Both the state-focused health plans and national offerings from Doctors on
Demand provide virtual care, a service of growing importance as more consumers
rely on telehealth as an alternative to in-person care and consultation.
The site will also have access to national offerings, such as: student loan
refinancing from CommonBond; auto and home insurance from Liberty Mutual and
Bristol West; prescription savings through ScriptSave WellRX; and grocery
shopping and delivery services from Shipt.
Benefitfocus plans to offer similarly tailored consumer solutions, such as For
You SC, in other states across the country.
Creating Consumer Access – Benefitplace.com ForYouSC.com is part of the direct-to-consumer benefits offering through
benefitplace.com, which launched in April as a resource for independent workers and
displaced employees to access a selection of affordable individual and family
health plans, as well as a variety of other products and services to support
their well-being through this challenging time.
Benefitplace.com reflects Benefitfocus’ long-term strategy to support
consumers’ health and financial well-being. It is designed to help individuals
who do not have benefits through an employer or have lost their group benefits
and are looking to ensure they and their family have access to health,
financial, lifestyle and other benefits.
Benefitfocus has constructed its benefits platform so that
users receive access to a personal account where they can shop
for individual health plans and voluntary benefits to
support them and their family’s needs for life.

This morning I walked through a complex near my home where I saw 16 unique state license plates, two kayaks, two surfboards, and a Tesla. Like many, I have spent the last several months ponding about the pandemic and the eminent changes it has made on all our lives, but I am thankful that the Charleston area and South Carolina have truly stepped up in true community form to combat the spread together.
As of this morning:
South Carolina is ranked 30th in
total cases
South Carolina is 27th in total
deaths (331)
We have administered 84,457 tests
Here is another thing we should know that may cloud this positive data:
Rhode Island is ranked #1 with tests per population at 86,102 tests per million population. South Carolina is ranked last with 16,404. Per the population, we have administered the smallest percentage of tests per citizen and that could indicate many more cases remain positive that we are not aware of.
Based on the current U.S. Model, we should not start seeing under 100 deaths daily until after August 1, so we have a long way to go. More importantly, opening our doors now, based on data alone may be a false negative, and here is why.
Opening our doors also opens up one of our largest revenue streams: tourism. With the potential of 40 million-plus visitors coming from out of state by car, boat, and plane, we increase our susceptibility to a massive spike. We know that alone we cannot sustain our businesses and need tourism. Therefore, we must be prepared before the gates open up once again.
Though Charleston does not have the densely overpopulated numbers of a New York or Los Angeles, the infrastructure does force close proximity with our narrow sidewalks, small urban parks, and narrow roads.
Hotels, restaurants, markets, beaches – These are a vital part of our lifestyle and all very difficult to maintain the high sanitation protocols we now adhere to.
The new normal forces a slowing down of everyday life. With limitations on occupancy, increased sanitation steps, and social distancing, are we prepared for large festivals and of course, thee Cooper River Bridge Run?
I have been nothing but impressed with the way we have handled ourselves and the sacrifices we have made, but now is not the time to get angry at one another and have counties threatening lawsuits on towns. We are better than that. We need to ease into recovery for the sake of our children, elderly, loved ones, family, and friends.
Charleston is a proud community who has overcome so much
from natural disasters to the heinous acts on Mother Emanuel. We come through strong because we come
through together.
