Greer Relief is a nonprofit human service organization dedicated to providing safety-net, stabilizing, and one-stop services--every neighbor matters. We seek to reflect the diversity of the community and are committed to partnerships that support healthy lifestyles and families. The long term goal of Greer Relief is to help neighbors identify their core problems and to treat the situation, not just the immediate need.
Safety Net :: Hunger & Homelessness Prevention
After assessing a neighbor’s application, our case manager determines what assistance is needed. Emergency assistance may include:
Case Management ~ Referrals ~ Food ~ Financial Support
Stabilizing :: Tools to End the Cycle
After providing safety net assistance, neighbors are referred to additional resources to positively affect their circumstances long term. Further assistance comes from Greer Relief and/or other community organizations/volunteers.
Benefit Bank ~ VITA: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance ~ Greer Food Co-Op ~ RENEW: Reaching Every Neighbor Every Way
One Stop :: J. Verne Smith Center
In 1991 the J. Verne Smith Center was established by then SC Senator J. Verne Smith, who saw the need for bringing services to the people and asked Greer Relief to take on the responsibility of managing the program. The one-stop center was founded with funding provided by state agencies and the City of Greer, and has served the community as a hub of job, health, family, disability, and emergency services since that time.
