HALOS relies on your generosity to provide resources and special opportunities to abused and neglected children in the Charleston area. HALOS partners and other donors are essential to our mission, and individuals, clubs, businesses, civic organizations, and religious groups can all contribute.
Your donations to HALOS can give hope to a child in your community.
With monetary donations, you can sponsor children in our annual programs and provide everything from linens, cribs, and beds, to car seats, clothing, and other items. You can also make general donations so that HALOS can devote resources to the most urgent needs at any given time. For more details about our annual programs, click here.
If you aren’t able to donate money, you can still make a difference. Many families in the Charleston area desperately need gently used beds, cribs, and other household items. Without a bed for each child in a house, children can be removed from their caregivers and placed in foster care. To families in his situation, donated beds and cribs can make a world of difference. For more information about our initiatives to collect critical household items, contact Kim Clifton at kim@charlestonhalos.org or 953-3714.
