United Christian Ministries serves the people of Pickens County (except for Clemson & Central which is served by Clemson Community Care) and northern Anderson County (Powdersville area) within the limits of its resources and the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Assistance is given in the form of food, shelter (rent & utility assistance), clothing, heating fuel and medicine for life threatening illness. It shall do so without regard to age, race, gender, religion or other considerations, bearing in mind always that the criteria for assistance is proven need. It shall at all times conduct its affairs in a courteous, prudent manner, bearing in mind Christ in whose name we serve, and seeking to bring His message of hope and comfort to those in need.
