Lowcountry Orphan Relief is a local non-profit that provides support services and aid to meet the needs of Lowcountry children identified as at-risk or suffering from abandonment, abuse or neglect. Our Founder, Lynn Young witnessed foster children being removed from their families often taken in the middle of the night or while at school and most were unable to get their belongings to bring with them. The court system can take up to two weeks to process these children; and during that time, the children have to make do with whatever clothing and personal items they had when they left their homes. In many cases, Lynn saw children staying in the same clothing often up to one week. Lowcountry Orphan Relief serves more than 300 organizations in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties, including the Department of Social Services, all local group foster homes, foster parents, local schools, and more. For each child, we are able to provide 2 weeks of new and like new clothing, pajamas, shoes, toiletries, school supplies and uniforms, as well as coats, books, stuffed animals, and new socks and underwear. We have a Distribution Center in North Charleston that fills Care Kits for children within 48 hours. Our daily average is 15-20 Care Kits per day, and we distribute an average of about about 4,000+ Care Kits per year.

Saturday Spotlight 💙

We are shining the spotlight on some pretty awesome people who rolled up their sleeves and got to work at LOR!

A big shoutout to Parker Hannifin, Greystar and MUSC Pharmacy for spending time with us in the Distribution Center. All three groups tackled the never-ending job of sorting clothing donations and getting items ready for our shelves. Parker Hannifin and MUSC Pharmacy didn’t stop there — they also helped pack Care Kits.

We are incredibly grateful for groups like these who give us their time and brighten our day. Thank you, Parker Hannifin, Greystar and MUSC Pharmacy! You made a difference this week.

When everything changes, the basics matter.

When a child enters foster care, they may arrive with very few belongings. Clean clothes, underwear, socks, a toothbrush, shampoo and other everyday essentials can suddenly become immediate needs.

That’s where LOR comes in. Our Care Kits are packed with the basics children need during a time of uncertainty, helping provide comfort and one less thing to worry about.

Donate $12.50 a month and help us keep Care Kits ready for the next child who needs us.

Saturday Spotlight Shoutout - We had some amazing groups and friends lend a hand at LOR recently.

The ladies of Delta Gamma at the College of Charleston spent time volunteering and helping us get ready for the children we serve.

Ellen and the team at Edward Jones collected stuffed animals and books to help fill our shelves with some of the extras that can make a Care Kit special.

And, this crew from Bethany United Methodist Church joined us to sort clothes as part of their Week of Missions.

We love seeing our community show up in so many different ways. Thank you for giving your time, collecting what we need and helping us stay ready for the next child.

When everything changes, the basics can suddenly mean so much more.

A child entering foster care may be facing a new home, a new school and a completely different routine. Having clean clothes, school essentials and something comforting may seem simple, but in that moment, they matter.

That’s why LOR works to keep Care Kits packed and ready with the everyday items children need most.

Help us be ready when everything changes. Be part of the mission and donate today.
