Send Relief is a collaboration between the International Mission Board and North American Mission Board.  They are here to help us make a difference in our community and the world around us—because compassion ministry opens doors to the gospel.

The Send Relief Serve Tour is a new missional experience with volunteer events in major cities across America.   May 13 and 14 they will be focusing on Charleston! Each stop along the serve tour is an opportunity to mobilize compassion in cities in need of transformative hope.

Send Relief has identified projects that will make the biggest impact possible in the lives of hurting families.  We can do a lot in just one weekend of meaningful work and can build relationships with people who desperately need to know they are loved.  This is also a great opportunity to build partnership with other people and churches that are doing great things.

May 13-14, volunteers will care for hurting communities in and around Charleston by serving local churches, bi-vocational pastors and low-income schools. Projects may include some light construction, painting and landscaping, as well as hosting sports camps or block parties.

Send Relief is making it easy for us to make a real, lasting impact in the lives of Charleston’s most vulnerable.

Below are a few projects we will be working with.  Sign up to serve with one of our teams today!!

Food Packing

Closet of Hope

Volunteers will be working with a local foster closet that serves the foster families and children in foster system in the Lowcountry Region.
