We are a free Charleston based program that connects trained, background-checked volunteers with community members—often older adults—who are looking for companionship and gentle physical activity, to go on walks. Every participant is assessed by a licensed physical therapist and provided with a personalized walking plan, creating a safe and supportive framework for meaningful connection.

"I love the Let's Walk Program! Mom was living downtown and her memory was getting worse. She loves to walk but had a fear of getting lost, Let's Walk came in with their awesome volunteer my mom got to go on long walks and see more of downtown. It also gave her some company and someone to chat with. The volunteer was the highlight of mom's day."

"I get a lot of satisfaction from my time with my walkers. It's really nice after a stressful day at work to take a half hour or so and slow down for a stroll with Helen or Philip. It takes such little effort from us to go for a walk and I can tell it makes a big difference to them. I'm really glad to be involved."

We hope you will consider making a donation to help us achieve our mission. If we achieve our goal of $15,000, it will be matched by one of our generous sponsors.
"It is a blessing for Lynn to walk with my mom. It really makes her day and she looks forward to it."
