Ground broken for Berkeley Children’s Advocacy Center

At the end of 2021, Children in Crisis, more commonly known as the Kay Phillips Child Advocacy Center, received two donations – one for construction services and another of land. Those donations culminated Thursday, Nov. 16, at a groundbreaking for the Berkeley Children’s Advocacy Center at 120 Executive Parkway in Moncks Corner.

“Today has been many years in the making. I think I started talking to the county council almost 10 years ago,” said Dr. Kay Phillips, executive director of the Kay Phillips Child Advocacy Center. “I’ve been through three administrations and formed a lot of really, really good relationships with the council. “This is an incredible project going on here because, as you’ve heard, it’s all been given to us. We’re not paying for anything. It’s all been given to us.”

The land donation was a 1.64-acre lot from the Cumbie Family in honor of their late parents, John and Bonnie Cumbie.
