LOWCOUNTRY FOREVER – November 1, 2026
GUEST: Mary Steury, Communications Manager of One80 Place
ISSUE: Homelessness
The mission of One80 Place is to end and prevent homelessness. Each year, the non-profit holds their big fundraiser, the annual “Turkey and a $20,” which is coming up on Tuesday, November 14th. The day is set aside to collect donations of turkeys as well as cash donations to assist One80 Place in their mission. Mary Steury, their Communications Manager, shared the history of “Turkey and a $20” as this year is the 14th annual edition of the event, plus explained how the fundraiser is executed. Steury also discussed how the money raised would help One80 Place and impact the homeless community in the Lowcountry as the organization provides more than just shelter. She also shared information on 573 Meeting Street, which opened earlier this year and is providing housing for up to 70 individuals.
