A second chance can depend on things many of us take for granted: a safe place to sleep, an ID, a driver’s license, a way to get to work, or a ride to treatment.
That is the kind of practical, life-changing support Christ City of Refuge is providing in Hartsville. What began with one family opening their farm to people rebuilding after homelessness, addiction, or incarceration has grown into a volunteer-powered nonprofit helping adults find stability, dignity, and a path forward.
In 2025, CCOR provided 28 residents with a safe place to stay, completed 78 transportation runs to rehabilitation facilities across South Carolina, and helped 13 residents reinstate their licenses and purchase their own vehicles.
Christ City of Refuge shows us how nonprofits get it done: opening doors, removing barriers, and helping people believe they can begin again.
