Welcome to

Approximately 15-20% of individuals who exit a temporary housing program at the end of their term, return to homelessness within 1-2 years. In South Carolina, that is about 300 people a year that return to homelessness at the end of their program.

We believe there is a key component missing in the lives of those stuck in the revolving doors of poverty, homelessness, and addiction.

Fresh Start Farm is the answer!

By serving vulnerable community members through temporary housing and sustainable farming, we will help our participants achieve a Fresh Start.

We believe Purpose changes lives. We invite people to participate in their development by taking ownership of their next steps as they prepare to live independently in today’s society.

A fresh start can change everything.

When referred residents enter the Fresh Start Home, they will receive wrap around care in every facet of life!

Throughout their stay in our 12-18 month program, we will help them achieve discipline in many areas (physical, mental, financial, and spiritual wellness), as they work on our Fresh Start Farm and at our Fresh Start Market.

Our goal is to give our residents the best foundation possible as they pursue a Fresh Start!

When you donate to Fresh Start Farm, or shop at A Hand Up, you are helping change lives. We are asking for your help! You can give online at by clicking here.
