‘Operation COVID Christmas’ Task Force Spreads Joy In Charleston Community

The holiday season is looking quite different than normal this year. However, it’s not stopping the town of Mount Pleasant from spreading joy in their community. 

A Mount Pleasant-based task force has been created to spread Christmas cheer. The task force, Operation COVID Christmas, is being led by Mayor Will Haynie and is composed of a variety of non-profit organizations.

Throughout the month of December, Operation COVID Christmas will be hosting events to give back to the community, especially those most affected by the pandemic.

Some of the events taking place this year include a blood drive, Christmas caroling, and food deliveries to healthcare workers.

In a statement on the creation of the task force, Mayor Will Haynie said, “We focused on three groups in our community who have really felt the effects of the pandemic: Healthcare workers, the Isolated/Elderly, and Hospitality Workers. What began as a conversation has become an expansive operation far exceeding our original vision.”

CARTA Brings Free Shuttle From Mount Pleasant to Isle of Palms

With recent changes to the parking regulations along Isle of Palms, a new shuttle service is offering a free and easy way to get to the beach.

CARTA is now offering a free beach shuttle service from Mount Pleasant to Isle of Palms. The shuttle will run on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm from now until October 18th. 

The shuttle service departs every hour from the Charleston County East Cooper Service Center, stopping at both 14th Ave. at Ocean Blvd. and Palm Blvd. at 28th Ave. 

While this is a great way for people to enjoy our beautiful beaches and current fall weather, there are some rules and regulations that shuttle users need to be aware of. Most notably, you are required to wear a mask or face covering at all times while you are on the shuttle. There’s also a limit on the type and number of items you are allowed to bring with you aboard the shuttle.

Download the app to see where the shuttle is at all times and effectively plan your next beach trip.
