repairing homes.
restoring hope.

what we do

Our dedicated team of construction professionals and volunteers provide critical repairs like wheelchair ramps, accessible bathrooms, new roofs and floors, and heating and cooling units to neighbors with an average household income of just over $1,300 a month. Absent these repairs, these residents – most of whom are elderly, disabled, or raising children with limited means – would face an uncertain future.

Crumbling homes equal a crumbling community. We help strengthen both houses and human spirits.

"As a real estate professional, helping families find a place to call home is at the core of my mission. As a child, I grew up without an air-conditioned home, so I know how important it truly is to one's well-being. I am proud to partner with Operation Home to help create a safer, healthier, and more comfortable place to live for Charleston communities. I am grateful for the opportunity to join forces with such a meaningful organization and eager to contribute a positive impact by improving lives."
