Homeless and Outreach Services

Clean of Heart

Clean of Heart is our most straightforward ministry: We provide showers and laundry services to the homelessness population in Columbia and the Upstate. Please visit the Clean of Heart Laundry and Shower Facility's page for hours of operation and to schedule an appointment.

Next Level Services

Next Level Services is a heartgrown initiative that grew out of the Columbia Catholic Charities' Clean of Heart Center and Restorative Justice Program. Through this life-changing service, we provide free one-on-one assistance and referral services to those who are looking to rise out of systemic homelessness or poverty. 

The Mercy Mission

We operate a thrift shop and provides outreach services to those in need in Jasper County. Please visit The Mercy Mission's page for additional information including hours of operation, donation information, volunteer sign up. We also offer a Thrift Store in Georgetown. 

Clothing Closet

We provide new and used clothing, shoes, and toiletries to the homeless and needy population. The Clothing Closet ministry began in Columbia in 2001 by 2 passionate volunteers who are still very involved in the Clothing Closet today. Due to the need, we've expanded this service to other areas of the state.
