Healing Farms is a non-profit that strives to bring the needs of the special needs population to the attention of our community.
We focus on the gifts and talents of each individual to help them find their place and purpose so that they can participate in the community and give back.
We want to shape a culture to look beyond disability and see ABILITY first.
Rather than going to a “place” and performing a “task”, our participants join a small group made up of four to six young adults with disabilities, a facilitator, and one to two volunteers who share similar interests. We believe friendships foster trust and inspire our participants to take on new challenges…
Camp ABILITY is our summer day camp designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities who are still in high school ages 17+. It provides the opportunity for your camper to not only have fun and form new friendships, but also the opportunity to stretch, grow, and build life skills resulting in a greater level of independence…
These quarterly events are specially designed to accommodate families and their special needs loved one. Whether it’s a family movie night or a catching a game at the Charleston River Dogs, these events are can’t miss…
The Walk and Roll for Healing Farms will be held on April 21st, 2018 at Danny Jones Recreation Complex in North Charleston, SC. How you participate is up to you — walk, push a stroller, pull a wagon, ride a wheelchair, or join us as a virtual walker. The whole idea is to have fun for a great cause! There will be food, music, prizes, and even a Fun Zone for kids of all ages!
Every October Healing Farms hosts it’s annual charity golf tournament. The proceeds of this event will are used to enable Healing Farms to continue in their work to create quality day programming for young adults with developmental disabilities as well as supports and services to the special needs community.
Our 2017 tournament took place at The Links at Stono Ferry and we had over 70 golfers come out and support this special day of golf and giving! If you are looking for a good excuse to hit the links then be sure to save the date and join us in 2018! Sign up for our newsletter and stay up to date with all of our events.
Our open house events give you the opportunity to come and see what Healing Farms is all about. Tour our urban farm, hear from our director, meet the buddies, and learn how you can get involved.

“I have learned so much from my time volunteering at Healing Farms. I always look forward to coming here and I always leave happier than when I came. It is so neat to see how much the buddies care for another and how much they can accomplish.”

Volunteer
We love watching the inspiration unfold as volunteers come to Healing Farms. The impact our buddies can have on those around them is amazing- and many times what they teach us is far more valuable than any lesson we’ve set out to teach them. We need volunteers for all sorts of things, from working directly with our buddies to helping in the garden, selling salsa at area events, and serving as drivers. We know there are many worthy organizations you can volunteer with- and we thank you for considering us!
