Spreading Holiday Cheer: How You Can Make a Difference in Myrtle Beach

'Tis the holiday season, and this year, The Right Find Homes Team is all about spreading more than just good cheer.

One thing that makes living in Myrtle Beach truly special is the tight-knit sense of community and the generous spirit of the locals. As our area continues to welcome new homeowners and residents from different cities and states, it's heartening to see how these newcomers quickly embrace Myrtle Beach as their home and eagerly seek opportunities to support their neighbors and improve the quality of life in our beloved city.

We're excited to share how you can make a meaningful impact in Myrtle Beach by supporting two incredible charities: Fostering Hope and New Directions.

• Fostering Hope: a local charity that brings smiles to kids in crisis
• New Directions: a local shelter helping those experiencing homelessness, poverty, and addiction
