Christ Central Ministries celebrates 15 years & Over 1 million people servedColumbia, South Carolina -- Christ Central Ministries is celebrating 15 years of
service to the homeless, poor, and disadvantaged individuals and families in communities across South Carolina.
Economists estimate that the recession has and will force millions more people into homelessness. Although “homelessness, ” the lack of regular and adequate nighttime residence, is a difficult number to measure, more South Carolina residents—especially families—are sleeping in shelters, living in their cars, and taking up residence in tent communities.
The mission of Christ Central is to address homelessness by meeting the immediate needs of the poor and disadvantaged in communities across South Carolina and by assisting the community in planning for their future.
Christ Central Ministries serves all counties in South Carolina through its Mission
Stations located in Aiken, Allendale, Chester, Clinton, Columbia, Florence, Graniteville,
Joanna, Lexington, New Ellenton, Prosperity, Ridgeland, Saluda, Seneca, Wagener,
Walhalla, Windsor, and Winnsboro.
