ABOUT US
Favor Foundation was founded by Executive Director, Shontia Gilliard and is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization local to Charleston, South Carolina. We are currently providing transitional housing for homeless women. We host several outreaches a year that provide free food, clothes and community resources to those experiencing or facing homelessness, food insecurity and spiritual crisis. Since the onset of this community outreach in 2017 our team has provided invaluable resources to thousands of individuals in Charleston and the surrounding areas. In doing so we have partnered with several organizations throughout the Tri County area such as Project Street Outreach and International Evangelic Ministries to ensure that the needs of our community are being met in every way possible.
We assist with referrals to Veteran and Senior organizations for more specialized assistance.
We are happy to partner with churches looking to reinvest in their community outreach and businesses looking to increase their community giving through donation drives and volunteer opportunities.
If you would like further information on needing our services or sponsoring an outreach, please call (843) 693-9266

Favor Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit that has provided food and clothes to the food insecure in Charleston, SC since October 2016. Through our Backpack Ministry we have provided backpacks with non-perishable food, seasonal clothing, toiletries and survival items to the homeless through out the low-country. In efforts to reach more food insecure we began having community outreach events in 2017 that provided bags of groceries, clothes, toiletries and a hot meal onsite. We have thankfully provided for over 10.000 families over the years and with every event held since this number continues to grow.
To keep with the growing needs of the community Favor Foundation was blessed to provide its first transitional house for homeless women in December of 2020 and now operates 3 houses in North Charleston. These houses serve as safe shelters and teach women how to manage a job, maintain a budget that allows them to be self-supporting and provide spiritual guidance along the way.

We were not put on this earth alone, we are here to help each other. Favor Foundation envelopes that commandment..Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and ...Love thy neighbor as thyself (Matthew 22:39). Through collaborations with other agencies that provide services that are specific to a need or those that share their overflow of donations we are able to help Veterans, mental health challenged and hurting homeless. If we can't provide the needs requested of us odds are we know someone who can. We encourage partnerships and share our own resources just as freely.
Transitional Housing
WE ARE LOOKING FOR RENTAL HOUSING PARTNERS
Favor House is currently looking for additional rental housing. We have no beds available at this time. If you are able to offer a corporate housing situation of a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment, home or duplex; please contact us immediately. We have homeless women waiting for housing. Please email us at FavorChasSC@gmail.com Thank you.
A minimum wage job does not allow our residents to afford rent, food, clothes, insurance or transportation if they were given the opportunity to move out on their own. Favor Foundation works to provide all of these necessities for a short time until they can.
Your sponsorship of a resident would fill in the gap and provide much needed toiletries and basic necessities on a monthly basis by adopting a resident or a room which consists of 2 residents. If you can't support for a month why not commit to providing for a week? Whether it's groceries, toiletries, clothes, utilities or even rent. Every donation helps us to provide training, guidance and a safe home for women transitioning out of homelessness.
Monthly Partners: To ensure the sustainability of our programs expansion goals, we are in need of monthly partners. Proceeds will ensure maintaining current resident house, opening new homes and outreach services. All proceeds are tax deductible.
Average cost per client is $800 to $1000 per month which covers their rent, utilities, food, toiletries, transportation and other incidental costs as needed. Only $500 of this cost is passed onto the working resident. This allows them to budget for their monthly needs, have transportation to and from work and hopefully save for a home of their own.
Donations can be made through PayPal.me/FavorChasSC or mailed to Favor Foundation PO Box 87 Ladson, SC 29456
