Families living in South Carolina have a rich history of helping out neighbors, animals, and our surroundings.  Numerous diverse volunteering opportunities and community charities are within close proximity to The Ponds.

Our Summerville homes are only minutes away from the Frances R. Willis SPCA, which has been providing shelter for lost and stray pets for 25 years.  Thanks to the dedicated staff of core volunteers at the shelter, old friends get found, and new friends get homes. 

The Palmetto Homeless shelter, located on South Main, offers assistance for those in the community needing basic human necessities. The volunteers at the shelter help in the evening hours by aiding in dinner preparation, light clean-up duties, and other various jobs.

There are also opportunities to help preserve the beauty of Summerville properties and our surrounding areas.  Palmetto Pride is an organization dedicated to keeping the streets, parks, and beaches of South Carolina litter free. Volunteers help organize clean-up committees that preserve the beauty of South Carolina real estate and our natural surroundings.

Many other volunteer opportunities, such as the Dorchester Habitat for Humanity, are available throughout the Charleston and Summerville, SC areas.  Go to Americantowns.com to find the community support activity that is right for you.
