Hundreds of children in the Pee Dee go without gifts on Christmas. This year Catholic Charities of the Pee Dee Region made sure that would not be happening again this Christmas. On Saturday, December 19th a Christmas Assistance event was held at the Myrtle Beach Education Center and 659 children will enjoy the 3,500 toys that were donated for this event.

The rains and flooding that started Oct. 1 left 19 people dead and cut a swath of destruction across the state. Homes, businesses, schools and churches were submerged or damaged. Hundreds of roads were washed out, making even the most basic transportation impossible in many areas.
