Our first mission is Emma’s House and Emma’s Helping Hands, which is an after-school program for the children of Allendale. Programs include development of individual self esteem and personal development through the arts, exercise, cooking, dance, education, and reading. Emma’s House also serves as a community center for meetings, food drives and other programs.

Allendale Enterprise is incorporated in the State of South Carolina as a not-for-profit organization, designated as a public charity by the IRS and the state of South Carolina with 501(c) (3) status. Allendale Enterprise was conceived and founded in the fall of 2014 by Phil Dickinson, an Allendale business owner. Lottie Lewis and Camille Nairn, longtime residents of Allendale, are founding members of the board. Our first project was to build this web site with the purpose of promoting Allendale and showcasing the town and the county in a positive way.
