Myrtle Beach-based National Hospitality Group Closes Offices to help others

Myrtle Beach, SC - When Hurricane Florence hit South Carolina the wind and rain were expected, but it was the resulting flooding that created some of the worst damage the area has ever seen. A month after making landfall, an estimated 6,000 families in the Myrtle Beach area were still in need of help before the long, arduous recovery and healing process could begin.

In order to help families in need, National Hospitality Group closed their corporate office on October 19th and more than 100 team members went to work to assist those affected by the storm. Collectively with Samaritan’s Purse a non-profit organization that provides volunteer relief in the wake of disasters around the world, the NHG team members pulled water logged insulation, ripped out water damaged drywall and cleaned up the families’ homes to prepare the houses for reconstruction.

While sometimes we can get caught up in the tunnel vision associated with work, it is important for us to support those that are in need. It is our hope that we can continue to reach out to the greater community and positively impact lives.

— Jason Shroff, CEO
