Healing Farms – Fostering hope, healing, growth, community, purpose, faith and love in the special needs community.

Who We Are

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."

Vision

“To see a community inspired and empowered…”

Mission

“To provide hope and opportunity to people with disabilities…”

Values

“We recognize and celebrate the dignity and value of every human being…”

Every year thousands of students with disabilities are aging out of high school
with few options for employment or contribution.

The general consensus is that individuals with disabilities are unable to contribute.
At Healing Farms we don’t believe that.

We are striving to meet the needs of those students in the
Charleston area by doing the following.

DAY PROGRAM

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…

SUMMER CAMP

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…

GATHERINGS

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 & Roll

The 7th Annual Walk & Roll is a virtual walk that take place Saturday, May 1st in multiple locations with people from all around our community coming together virtually to raise awareness and support for the special needs community. How you participate is up to you — walk, push a stroller, pull a wagon, ride a wheelchair. The whole idea is to have fun for a great cause!

The Chip In

Every year 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 2021 tournament will take place in June/July at The Links at Stono Ferry. We hope you will join us for this special day of golf and giving!

The Come & See

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 some of the families we serve, and learn how you can get involved.

Believe In Possibility Banquet

Our annual Fundraising Banquet is a special evening dedicated to supporting our mission of providing hope and opportunity to special needs individuals and their families. In 2020 this event was virtual, but we still celebrated ABILITY in a huge way.

From Florida to Oregon, more than 500 people tuned in live to celebrate with us! Special thanks to everyone who watched or hosted a watch party!
