About Us

The Darlington County Coordinating Council (DC3) was established by the League of Women Voters of Darlington County who realized that human service agencies were not communicating with one another. In the spring of 1996, League President Sheila Haney invited Representative Denny Neilson to co-chair the 30 organizations that attended, and later, Representative Jay Lucas assisted in the acquisition of a 501(c) (3) status. In Darlington County, the need for human services (those services that help those struggling to achieve self-sufficiency) continues to overwhelm, and consequentially, community and faith-based organizations have been assisting to meet those needs. To achieve a stronger, more self-sustaining community, the collaboration of service agencies meeting the needs of vulnerable populations must be capable of working together.
