The Deep Well Project
The Deep Well Project – “the Island’s charity”. Founded in 1973, the Deep Well Project has been a source of emergency assistance to the Hilton Head Island community for over 40 years. The Deep Well Project is based on islanders helping their neighbors in need — and reflects the generosity of individuals and the caring community in which we live.
