Giving back to our community is so important and we are so excited to present Charleston Moms CARE, a series where we’ll be highlighting different non-profits around the Lowcountry. We’ll tell you more about the organization and how you can get involved by volunteering!
This month we are featuring National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC), which is dedicated to serving women with, or at risk for, cervical cancer and HPV disease.

4. Quilt project -Quilts that travel the country and help to place a personal face on the battle against cervical cancer.
