Sometimes Habitat for Humanity gets new merchandise in for homes that doesn't work with their build, and that stuff ends up at one of these stores. There is quite a bit of old furniture and lights for your homes, and even a sink or two! You can get some good deals here. I looked through all the old frames for some artwork, tons of glassware is here, old books, lots of small picture frames, a good place to stop and look around for a new treasure.

Unbelievable!!!! I am staying at the Hope Lodge which is provided by the American Cancer Society…read more The people here are very kind and I am still in disbelief about staying one block from MUSC as my father goes through cancer treatments. We waited approximately two weeks to get into the location; however, the wait is well worth it. I want to make this clear...FREE. All those donations which people around the globe make, go to this type of funding in ardition to research. The Hope Lodge is actually 4 buildings which has approximately 16 rooms guest rooms. One caregiver and a patient can stay for as long as it is needed for the patient to recover. There are volunteers which make food daily(I am told the sign up list to feed us is packed 6 weeks out there are so many people that want to help), refrigerators and pantries for each room. This place is similar to a hotel with one paid employee always on staff; however, no maid comes and cleans your room. It is more like an extended stay with a main dinning room, kitchen, conference room, and more. You need to set it up through the MUSC Hollins Cancer Center or you can contact the national ACS number. Sundi and Lauren are managers here and are two of the sweetest women I have ever met...THANK YOU! All the people here, staff and guests alike, are so sweet and kind. It is truly an amazing place which has changed my fathers stress level and allowed him to concentrate on getting better. However, Hope Lodge is about soooo much more than a free place to stay. It is a family of caring people who come together to share Hope in fighting a horrible disease which we will one day beat! Although this lodge gives us shelter, food, concierge, and ammenities, it gives us so much more; it gives us HOPE! Call me korny, but this is exactly what it has done for us so far...5 weeks left...fingers crossed! I hope I can do half of what these people do for us. This place has shown me how much people can do for others and has inspired me to get into Hospital Managment...Masters in Public Health, here I come!

As a 22 yr old, eons ago, I got a speeding ticket, yes I know a young male speeding, hard to…read morebelieve right? Anyways, my community service placed me at Happy Days and Special Times. When I walked in, my immature mind immediately thought, wow, plenty of young attractive females, an interesting environment and I get to help them with all their various activities. Boy was I in for one of the most delightful awakenings ever. The staff are all professional, as they have a serious job they have chosen. Working for a charity that deals with such a serious matter as cancer, it takes a certain strong-willed individual and mindset. Don't get me wrong they're jovial but their focus is on the kids which, commendable is the only word I can think of yet if falls woefully short of the respect they deserve. I absolutely loved helping them out and after my 20 hours were up, I stayed for another 2 years. I volunteered at "The Taste of Charleston", oyster festivals at Boone Hall, golf tournaments, outings, and of course, their camp. The work they need help with is diverse and as far as I know all the proceeds go the foundation and children along with families in need. If you decide to assist, know the children are beautiful and strong as are their families. As a personal aside I grew close with one of the families, becoming a "big brother" to one of the children. We had a grand time and I considered him family. Well, no one prepared me for the difficulties of what the charity deals with, cancer. I walked in one Saturday to hang out with my 8 yr old buddy and a faculty member informed me, he had passed. I took what felt like an eternity to process the information then went to the bathroom and got sick. It stung that bad. The following Tues I told the director I couldn't do this again, I'm not strong enough to deal with the realization of the evil that is cancer. She said she understood and thanked me for everything. I can't say how much mental fortitude the staff possess. How difficult it is to be on the cusp of death daily, not only that, but interacting with the most innocent of souls, children. I still pray for them all, that they get the strength to continue doing their good work. I no longer live in Charleston but I highly suggest tithing, or giving your time and/or resources to this charity if you can. The staff would appreciate it and the families would be eternally grateful. Moreover, you'll be helping children who could really use help and deserve anything we can assist with. Happy Days and special times is one of the most noble charities I've ever been associated with and I know if you get in touch with them, your life will be forever touched in the most human and enlightening ways ever. Take care and God bless.

It's really not fair to have to give a review to this incredible organization but as a cancer…read moresurvivor myself and having seen so many children at the hospitals I went to its impossible to not comment on this organization. Normally they have a camp every summer for kids but unfortunately this year that is not possible due to the coronavirus. So instead of postponing this years camp they decided to run it virtually. In order to accomplish that they needed to supply each child with a box of items for the activities that the kids would be partaking of during the virtual camp week. We answered an ad to volunteer packing the boxes and went this past Saturday. There were approximately 200 volunteers ready to get to work packing almost 400 boxes for the kids. In order to start it was required to count out a large amount of donated items by age groups. It was time consuming yet so incredibly rewarding. We met volunteers like us in their first year and counselors and volunteers who have been involved in Camp Happy Days for 30 years. What amazing people. Considering how things are today in the U.S. it is so satisfying to know that organizations like this exist and the incredible people who are involved all for the benefit of these kids with cancer.
