Local Connect Day

The mission of Overflow Foundation is to Pour Hope Into Life by promoting mental health awareness and suicide prevention, as well as providing mental health education.

LEARN Aiken’s Mission is to create and provide educational programs, games and outdoor activities that bring together children and horses to help stimulate the desire to learn and read. We believe that by creating an environment where children have direct contact with these fascinating animals, it will open up a world where learning is both fun and exciting.

We are here to create a place of peace and sanctuary for kids and equines in Aiken to develop a love for learning that can then be applied to all aspects of having a full, deep, and abundant life.
…I have come that they may have life and have it to the full. John 10:10

Poverty has ripple effects.

In our community, the effects of poverty are seen in broken families, lack of education, few work opportunities, health issues, crime, addiction, abuse…the list goes on. Because all people are created with value, poverty keeps people from their potential. We believe when someone is kept from their potential, we all lose. Join our diverse group of volunteers, donors, and staff to help move people from need to their potential, by fighting poverty and strengthening families…one person at a time. Because each person we serve matters to God!

You can volunteer in the following areas: receptionist, interviewer, Food Pantry, Food Pick-Up, Food Distributions, Senior Food Program, Food Home Delivery, Clothing, Housewares/Linens, Resale Store, Clerical, Data Entry, Furniture Pickup, General Maintenance, Adult and/or Youth Volunteers.
