South State Bank (NASDAQ:SSB) announced today that it has established the South State Bank Emergency Relief Fund, with an initial contribution of $100,000, to provide financial support to the communities it serves in the aftermath of the massive flooding.

"This disaster is in our backyard and has touched many of our employees, customers, neighbors and friends," said Robert R. Hill, Jr., CEO. "It is our hope that this financial contribution can provide some immediate support to those in need within the local communities we serve. Our thoughts continue to be with those who have been impacted and we are committed to being a partner with our customers and communities as the rebuilding process begins."

The South State Bank Emergency Relief Fund is operated by Central Carolina Community Foundation and 100% of all donations will support the flood relief efforts. In addition to the initial contribution, individuals and organizations can also donate in support of the impacted communities we serve.

Funds will be available through local nonprofit organizations providing assistance to flood victims in Bamberg, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Darlington, Dorchester, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Jasper, Lexington, Orangeburg, Newberry, Richland, and Sumter counties in South Caolina; and Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties in North Carolina.
