ABOUT US
We want Taylors, SC to be a place anyone can belong.
Belonging is what we have been excited about from the get-go. Since our founding, we have expanded that vision to include what naturally happens when you love a place and the people in it: You want to make everyone feel like they have a place to belong. We do this through awareness, advocacy, and action.
