As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday season – AMOR Healing Kitchen invites the Charleston community to make a difference while celebrating the season. The local nonprofit, which provides nourishing, plant-based meals to individuals facing critical health challenges like cancer, is launching two year-end fundraisers: an Online Silent Auction starting November 29, and the Merry Mingle Holiday Party on December 7. Proceeds will directly support AMOR’s mission to deliver healthy meals to those in need.
AMOR has seen a 300% increase in demand for its services this year, with 90% of clients receiving meals free of charge. This, coupled with rising food costs has made AMOR’s mission even more important and the impact of financial contributions more significant. This is your chance to give support to AMOR’s mission and help expand its impact.

Why this matters
By participating in the Silent Auction and the Merry Mingle, you’ll help AMOR:
- Deliver hope, health, and nourishment to Charleston-area community members facing health crises and their caregivers
- Empower teens with life skills and a spirit of service as they volunteer to prepare these meals under the guidance of AMOR’s culinary director
“We are in our sixth year of serving the Charleston community and are continually inspired by the impact AMOR Healing Kitchen has had on the patients we serve, their families and the teens that keep our kitchen buzzing,” said Maria Kelly, Founder and Executive Director of AMOR Healing Kitchen. “This year we’ve experienced an increase in demand for our services along with rising food costs, which have both put more demand on our team. To help meet this need we expanded our Grab and Grow service, which provides nourishing, ready-made meals for purchase. We’re inviting the community to join us during this season of giving—whether by bidding in our Silent Auction, attending the Merry Mingle, or simply supporting our programs—to ensure we can continue delivering hope and health to those who need it most.”
