Marlboro County Coordinating Council
The Marlboro County Coordinating Council shows how a coalition can serve as both a convener and a practical community resource. The nonprofit brings together more than 40 agencies, organizations, civic groups, and other partners to improve human services and coordinate existing resources in Marlboro County. The Council’s current initiatives address food disparities, health disparities, and mental health and wellness. It also partners with community and statewide organizations to hold an annual health and wellness forum that connects residents with service providers, health and wellness vendors, community resources, and information on a variety of health and wellness topics.
