Hope for the Community in 2025

You, and everyone you know is facing a challenge in their life, great or small. We all need support. In our neighboring communities of Johns and Wadmalaw islands, there are children who need guidance and more educational support, there are people without clean drinking water, there are leaky roofs and hungry bellies. 

Kiawah Cares is the organization that listens to the needs of the community and finds the resources to support the local programs that nurture our neighbors. We gather donations and filter funds to our incredible nonprofit partners who provide meaningful support to those in need.

With your help we’ve been able to funnel aid to give students the at-home and in-school resources they need, built a school garden and outdoor learning classroom, gave young athletes new opportunities to play tennis and baseball, and provided books for young readers. We’ve dispersed funds to provide families with clean drinking water, monthly food pick-ups and home repairs. We’ve expanded our own Kiawah Cares sponsored programs, Made with Love, a group of volunteers who sew gifts of comfort, like blankets, to give to those in need, and OwlVenture camp, an educational summer day-camp.

If every household on Kiawah Island contributed $20 this holiday season, we’d reach our goal of $180,000 to nurture our neighbors in need on Johns and Wadmalaw islands. Give what you can, and you’ll know that someone just down the road is living a better life, with one less worry, due to your support.
