Community Involvement

At In His Name–Colleton, we believe serving our community means meeting people where they are and walking alongside them with practical help, compassion, and hope.

From our Outreach Center to our Community Food Pantry and Direct Street Outreach Program, we work to connect our neighbors with food, resources, and support when they need it most.

Outreach Center

Our Outreach Center at 214 Wichman Street in Walterboro is open every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 AM–12 PM.

Here, we provide:

  • Free prepared meals to anyone in need

  • Hygiene and food bags for individuals experiencing homelessness

  • Showers and laundry assistance for those experiencing homelessness

  • Referral services for clothing and other community resources

  • Assistance with finding employment

  • Help obtaining vital documents, including Social Security cards, identification cards, and birth certificates

  • Connections to domestic violence and sexual assault resources through Hopeful Horizons

  • Connections to mental health and substance-use resources through Coastal Empire Mental Health and Colleton Pillars4Hope

  • Assistance connecting individuals with rehabilitation programs or reconnecting with family in another location, in partnership with the Walterboro Police Department

Community Food Pantry

Our In His Name Community Food Pantry at 1013 S. Jefferies Blvd. provides individuals and families throughout Colleton County with access to nutritious food in a welcoming environment.

Pantry Hours:
Tuesdays & Thursdays: 10 AM–2 PM
Last Saturday of each month: 10 AM–12 PM

The pantry is part of our larger vision for a community Mission Center where neighbors can find food, support, resources, and hope.

Reaching Beyond Our Doors

Our community involvement doesn't stop at our locations. Throughout the year, we also:

  • Meet people where they are through our Direct Street Outreach Program, providing practical resources and connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with shelters, housing, healthcare, and other available services.

  • Host Free Community Laundry Days with support from local churches, businesses, and families.

  • Host an Annual Free Community Dinner during the Christmas season.

  • Participate as a member of the Lowcountry Continuum of Care Governing Council, supporting efforts to address homelessness and housing instability in Colleton County.

Through these programs and partnerships, we have the opportunity to serve our neighbors in different ways and remind them that they are not alone.

Food, support, resources, and hope.
