Our Charitable Foundation Mission

The residents of Seabrook, Kiawah, Johns Island and Wadmalaw have always been very generous with their time and resources, hoping to make life a little better for our neighbors who may need assistance meeting even the basic challenges of daily life. And we know that there are many worthy groups and charitable organizations working to meet those needs and requesting your support. Those groups and their clients are sincerely grateful to everyone who has so generously volunteered to help and donated to them over the years.

One critical objective of the Fleming Open is to use our platform to provide financial aid to an outstanding local organization doing the work described above. This year the Fleming Open Committee has once again selected the Sea Islands Blessing Basket, a non-profit 501 (c) (3), as our charitable partner. The Blessing Basket provides healthy nourishment in the form of shelf-stable groceries and fresh produce, meat, eggs and dairy to its clients. Serving the neediest families on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands, the Blessing Basket currently has 345 registered households with approximately 700 household members. The monthly distribution from the Blessing Basket provides a very significant portion of the food and nourishment available to these families and individuals. See below for some of the grateful faces of the Blessing Basket recipients.

We are very excited to continue our charitable tradition of supporting our local community and hope you will join us in this effort. Please consider making a generous donation today and help us meet our goal of 25,000 meals.
