Together, we are better!
Founded in 2015, Serve & Connect is a South Carolina-based nonprofit focused on fostering positive change through sustainable police and community partnerships. We believe that when police and community partners stand together, they have the power to make real, lasting change happen. We connect police and community partners together over their shared humanity and joint desire to make their communities safer, healthier, happier places to live. We create spaces for trust and mutual respect to grow and work with our partners to amplify their potential to create real solutions to generational challenges. We believe a better tomorrow is possible. Join us as we spread a culture of hope through collaboration.

Our Focus Areas

Supporting
Communities
We believe police can be agents for change. That is why we offer them bridge-building resources through our Compassionate Acts Program. Whether providing boxes of food for people who are hungry through our statewide Greg’s Groceries program or providing warm winter coats for cold winter nights, we want to provide tools that amplify officers' natural gift of understanding needs and finding ways to help.
Communities
Supporting
Officers
We believe it is important for citizens to build connections with the police officers who protect their communities. We create pathways for residents to uplift officers through our annual “Feed an Officer” campaign and Illuminight, our annual recognition event. We also assist families of fallen officers and officers critically injured in the line of duty through our tragedy response program.

Neighborhoods
Together
Community partners and police officers working together can accomplish great things. We deeply believe that those who live and serve in a community are best suited to know what the needs are and create solutions that make a lasting impact. Through our Compass program, we work with partners to design local movements that enable shared visions to flourish.
Our Approach
There are certain things we do and others that we don’t.
We understand the importance of getting it right and we are also realistic that this work can be hard. We are committed to our collective results and recognize that the greatest results come from the hardest work. We are up for the challenge.
We are writing a new narrative of hope and we need you to make it happen.
