This organization honors those they serve with compassionate home health, hospice, and personal care services that apply the highest quality clinical practices toward allowing the patients to maintain a sense of independence, quality of life, and dignity.
James Island Outreach
The James Island Outreach was formed by area churches coming together to help those who needed assistance with the rebuilding of their storm-damaged homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo. Over these past nearly 30 years, the mission of JIO has evolved, and now provides crisis relief for Folly Beach and James Island residents in need of food and/or financial assistance for medications and utility maintenance.
