The South Carolina Youth Advocate Program (SCYAP) is a nonprofit agency working closely with the S.C. Department of Social Services (SCDSS). For 32 years, the SCYAP has recruited, trained, and supported therapeutic foster families for children who have suffered significant trauma. This holiday season, the Great Grand Family Foundation partnered with the SCYAP, to host a winter wonderland dinner for 20 local foster families. With the help of the Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce, the BCBCC Ambassadors and others in the community, including Polowana Backwoods Kitchen, the children in the program had their first Christmas since 2019.
