“As smooth as could be expected at such a young age…”
“I became a student at Florence Crittenton Day Program in August of 1988 at the tender age of 14. The staff at Florence Crittenton and supportive family members made my transition into motherhood as smooth as could be expected at such a young age.”

"…changed my life for the better.”
“If anyone ever asked me what Florence Crittenton of Charleston, SC, means to me, I honestly could answer saying it has changed my life for the better.”

“…makes my heart smile big time.”
“I personally decided to choose Florence Crittenton Programs to give back, because I was a participant of the program in 2010. For me to be sitting in front of their building 6 years later about to walk in and make a donation to help other single mothers makes my heart smile big time.”
- Sandra, Supporter
Intentionally located within a vibrant neighborhood, “home” is a warm, welcoming space where the needs and experiences of young moms and their babies are centered, where trust is nurtured, where lasting bonds are built.
