Meet one of our Board members, Guy! 🌟

For the past year, Guy Gordon has brought his time, leadership, and heart to Keys to Change SC as a member of our Board of Directors. He currently serves as Chair of the Development Committee and is also a member of the Finance Committee, helping guide both the growth and the stewardship of our mission.

Guy has a genuine heart for serving our unhoused neighbors. Alongside his work with KTC, he's deeply involved at Seacoast Church - Summerville Campus, partnering with their ministry to the unhoused and underserved in our community.

We're so grateful for leaders like him who show up, again and again, for the people we serve. Thank you for all you do!

Want to make a difference like Guy? There are so many ways to get involved, from volunteering to giving to joining a committee. Reach out and let's talk about where you fit in.

We are so grateful for the hearts of our community. That support is what makes it possible for our residents to do the hard work of starting over, one everyday basic at a time.

Cleaning supplies, hygiene products, and household items help turn a house into a safe, steady place to land.

Want to help in a real, tangible way? Check out the donation list below and pick an item (or a few!) to drop off. Every item brings us one step closer to providing stability, dignity, and hope for the next chapter.

For many of our neighbors rebuilding their lives at Keys to Change, transportation is one of the biggest barriers standing between them and independence. Some are walking miles a day just to get to work, medical appointments, or the grocery store.

A bike changes that. It means freedom, dignity, and one less obstacle on the road to self sufficiency.

Here's how you can help:
πŸš— Purchase a Graph-X4 Car Wash Voucher for $10 (a $30 value!)
πŸ’š $5 of that goes straight to Keys to Change
✨ Modern Woodmen of America is matching every dollar up to $2,500

Vouchers are redeemable nationwide at any Tidal Wave Auto Spa location and valid for 12 months. That's a shiny, sparkling car wash for you and real impact for someone working to rebuild their life.

Psst.. it makes a great gift too!

Let's put independence in motion together. πŸ”‘

One of our youngest guests at Anchor House completed his time with us this past weekend!

"At the age of 24, many would wonder if a younger resident could successfully complete their time here with us," said Christy Wheeler of the Anchor House. "He set his mind to do it, got a job and used the time wisely to save his money."

He landed a job quickly with Mercedes Benz in Ladson and was eventually hired on permanently. We're proud of what he accomplished, and we know his story can be an example for others coming through Anchor House.

Thank you to our sponsors, donors, and community for making this possible. 🀍

We are so grateful for our partners at Summerville Presbyterian Church! πŸ™Œ

SPC lives out their mission to "house the homeless, feed the hungry, and serve God's people" in a very real and tangible way and so many of their members show up for our neighbors at Keys to Change again and again.

Year after year, SPC has included Keys to Change in their annual mission giving, and their consistent, generous support has made a life-changing difference for our neighbors rebuilding their lives.

The Seekers Sunday Class provides essential items to our residents every month and beyond that, a whole community of volunteers, donors, and advocates from SPC has been a steady, faithful presence in our work. We couldn't do what we do without communities like this one standing beside us. 🀍
