Under His Wings You Will Find Refuge
Friendship Place is a Christian non-profit organization that provides our community with opportunities to overcome crises and work toward self-sufficiency. For more than 25 years, we have fed the hungry, and worked to creatively address some of the most pressing unmet needs of our neighbors in the Georgetown County community.
Life Transforming Programs
Every weekday, our neighbors are served warm nutritious meals from 11am – 12pm in a peaceful and welcoming environment.
A “HUB” designed to help our neighbors connect with organizations that can assist them with their current needs.
We pray with our neighbors. It is simply a time of nourishing lives through the power of ministry and intercessory prayer.
In partnership with Freedom Readers, we provide afterschool literacy tutoring to help children with academic progression.
Over the past 5 years, Friendship Place has helped 50 neighbors secure sustainable jobs.
Over 70% are still employed today!
