I was at this shelter about 15 years ago. They helped me in too many ways to name. Back then my case worker, Miss Williams and the Job Center specialist, Ms. Silvey were literal Godsends. I'm not gonna lie, this wasn't an easy path, but it put me on the right path. I'm now married, and am a homeowner in South Carolina. I will ALWAYS remain grateful for COTS.

The location is in need of some updating. More non-profit(s) need to be alerted to this business. It houses the disabled and single mothers. Much aid is needed here but is apparently scarce. Fire department was out recently. I pray everything is up to fire code 2022 standards. My visiting progressive and see this place as okay. Thanks for the chance to review. Looking forward including greater reviews.
