A Story by Jack Sparacino

“The wind came back with triple fury, and put out the light for the last time. They sat in company with the others in other shanties, their eyes straining against crude walls and their souls asking if He meant to measure their puny might against His. They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.” – Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

Fourth annual Beaufort Walk for Water set for September

Each year, women and children in developing countries around the world spend millions of hours walking just to obtain water for basic needs such as cooking and cleaning.

In an effort to acknowledge 2020 Beaufort County and Jasper County high school graduates who have worked so hard this year during the pandemic, FWDG is offering one free pillow (a $99 value) to each high school grad who visits the furniture store and brings in their diploma. The student must be present to receive the pillow. Pillows are available for pickup 7 days a week at FWDG: 745 Robert Smalls Pkwy in Beaufort, one mile East of the Broad River Bridge. Store hours are Mon-Sat, 10am-6pm and Sun 1-5pm.
