“Whatever you do unto the least of these brothers, you do unto me.”
-Matthew 25:40 "NIV"

The Saluda Charitable Foundation is a faith based Christian humanitarian group dedicated to serving those in need. We are headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, and have served on four continents.

While we do not seek financial support from others, we do "partner" with like-minded individuals and organizations to achieve common goals. In these partnerships, we are proud of our financial and spiritual accountability. No donated funds are used for travel, salaries, or expenses by any of our American volunteers, staff or associates. Only local and indigenous staff members are paid salaries or expenses.

Please browse our web page, and feel free to send us your thoughts…
 

With God's Blessings,

^{Project Information Updates}

June 2008: We are pleased to send 10 residents of the Glenn Spring Boys Academy of Pauline (near Spartanburg, SC), along with their chaperons, on the trip of a lifetime. In August, these boys will be flown to British Columbia, Canada, where they will enjoy a fun-filled week of outside adventure. For most of the boys it will be a week of firsts... airplanes, international travel and outside sports as only the Canadian West can offer. For more information on Glenn Springs and the fine work they do, please visit www.glennspringsacademy.org
