During the Greer City Council meeting held on September 23, 2025, several community initiatives and events were highlighted, reflecting the city's commitment to engagement and support for its residents.
The meeting opened with an announcement from the community standards and compliance division, which is currently collecting new or gently used coats and cold weather items until the end of October. Donations can be made at the Permits desk in City Hall, with all items going to Daily Bread Ministries and Greer Relief. This initiative underscores the city's efforts to support those in need as colder weather approaches.
In addition to charitable efforts, Greer has received recognition for its community amenities.

The Greer Chamber of Commerce is set to host the Arts and Eats festival on October 4, showcasing local arts, food, and live music from 10 AM to 8 PM in Downtown Greer. This event aims to foster community spirit and support local artisans.
The council also announced the next installment of the code enforcement community engagement meetings, scheduled for October 9 from 6 PM to 8 PM at the Center for the Arts.
