Summary
Sean Swinton of the PD Coalition presented service statistics for the Kingstree office, described the coalition’s funding mix, and said a $1,500 funding request is pending as the county’s budgeting process continues.
At the April 16 meeting Sean Swinton addressed the council on behalf of the PD Coalition, a nonprofit that provides services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse in the PD (Pee Dee) area including Williamsburg County. Swinton summarized local service numbers reported by the Kingstree office: 67 domestic‑violence victims assisted in 2022, 59 in 2023, and 15 so far in 2024. He described the coalition’s funding as a mix of local, state and federal dollars and said a $1,500 funding request was submitted and is awaiting council action as the county finalizes its budget.
Swinton also highlighted Denim Day (April 24), an awareness event rooted in a 1990s Italian court decision; he encouraged community participation and said informational materials were available at a table in the meeting room. No formal vote on the funding request was recorded in the transcript; the item remains a pending budget request.
