Lily Pad #13: August 2023

Department of Social Services Fairfield County, SC

  • Fairfield County is located in the midlands region of South Carolina. It is bordered by Richland, Chester, Kershaw, and Newberry counties.

  • Fairfield County has a population of approximately 22,000 residents, according to the latest available data.

  • Fairfield County DSS had a well stocked foster closet, and now that space doubles as a Lily Pad.

  • Our Lily Pad volunteers sorted, organized, and condensed the foster closet items to one side of the room while still allowing them to be easily accessible.

  • That left plenty of space to create a living room with a playful sunrise, washable rug, bed, pull out couch, glider, and colorful wall decor.

  • The entertainment center is well stocked with movies and Nintendo Switch games. There are weighted blankets and sensory toys as well.

  • Thanks to the initiative of student Spencer Davidson, Langston Charter Middle School raised funds for Lily Pad during their 2022-2023 school year. Now, youth experiencing foster care in Fairfield County, SC have a space to make them feel cared for and valued.
