Who We Are

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 Walk & Roll is our annual spring fundraiser that aims 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!

Join us Saturday, April 20th for Walk & Roll 2024.  You will have a chance to walk alongside local supporters and the families we serve. There will be food, music, and a fun zone with games and activities for all ages.  You don’t want to miss this incredible day to celebrate ABILITY!

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.

Stay tuned for details about our next golf fundraiser. We invite you to 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 2023 we had over 500 people gather together united to celebrate ABILITY and change the future for young adults with disabilities.  Our amazing guest speaker Chris Norton inspired everyone to “lead with kindness” and ‘value every single person we meet’ It was an unforgettable night and thanks to our generous sponsors, table hosts and their guests, we were able to raise more than $118,000! 

We hope you will join us for our 2024 event as we celebrate 25 years of Healing Farms!

Become an Ambassador

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!
