Their furniture finally coming out of storage
No longer living in a motel room
Volunteers move a low-income family of six whose mom is in a wheelchair. Dove Fund connected them to an affordable apartment in West Ashley. After two years of bouncing from relatives' couches and seedy rooms to rent, at long last they have a home of their own again.
There's nothing like having your own place again to make a person feel in control of her life.

As faith-based nonprofit, we emphasize faith in God and the power of prayer with our clients. We hosted an ice cream social in the summer at James Island County Park for 25 moms and children.
Along with financial assistance, we also have a regular “friendly visitor” ministry at several residential care facilities. Most of the residents are indigent and have little family support. These visits are a tangible reminder that they are valued and loved.
Our numbers are growing
150
Since 2022, we have served more than 150 local people. Because we are small, we can establish relationships.
Most of our clients are single moms with multiple children. We serve as the hands of Christ, bringing comfort, prayer, practical household goods, and funding to help to families pivot toward stability.
