About Us

Who We Are

 Families Helping Families of the Midlands (FHFM) is a partnership between the nonprofit Palmetto Project and WIS News 10 (Grey Media) that began in 1990. Palmetto Project was founded in 1984 to identify & implement  new & innovative approaches to advance health, social, and economic outcomes in the Palmetto State.

Nell Killoy, Vice President and Director of Thriving Families for Palmetto Project, has partnered directly with the team at WIS News 10 to support the planning and operations — but FHFM could not exist without the incomparable generosity of our Midlands community of donors, sponsors, and volunteers.

FHFM is a success every year because of each of you.
