Volunteer

In South Carolina, grandparents act as the primary caregivers for 9 percent of all children, and other relatives are the caregivers for another 2.1 percent.

These relatives provide a crucial safety net for abused and neglected children. Their support is critical to the welfare of these children, but it can be an overwhelming task.

To help these caregivers, HALOS created the Kinship Care Resource and Support Program. Once a month, caregivers of abused and neglected children participate in a support group with other caregivers who welcomed children into their homes.
To provide dinner and child care at these gatherings, HALOS relies on volunteers. If you would like to help prepare a light dinner or spend some hands-on time with these children, we need volunteers to prepare the meals and babysit. Without volunteers, this event could not happen. All it takes is one night a month for you to help a family in need. For more information about the Kinship Care program, contact Elisa Mundis, elisa@charlestonhalos.org or 953-9539.
