The Colleton Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG) is an organization that provides assistance to Colleton citizens that have unmet needs after a disaster. If you are uninsured and your application for FEMA assistance was rejected, the Colleton LTRG may be able to help.
LTRG funding can be used to provide materials to a Voluntary Organization Active in Disaster (VOAD - such as Southern Baptists Disaster Relief, Team Rubicon, etc.) assisting a Colleton County citizen or to a contractor providing disaster relief services to a Colleton County citizen. LTRG funding cannot be distributed to individuals.
Donations to the Colleton Long-Term Recovery Group can only be used to help Colleton County citizens that have experienced a disaster and can only fund supplies and/or services for disaster recovery work. This ensures that any donations are used exclusively for Colleton County Disaster Relief.
