Located in downtown Charleston, Florence Crittenton Programs has been serving the entire state of South Carolina for 113 years. We provide education, counseling services, medical care, social support, and a safe haven for young pregnant and parenting mothers in need. After completing our program, our clients have the skills to become responsible parents and members of the community. We all benefit as they become self-sufficient, responsible mothers, and their babies grow up happy, healthy, loved, and safe.
Our Mission
To foster the development of healthy babies and strong, competent parents.
Florence Crittenton Programs of South Carolina values the right of every child to have a healthy start in life, and the right of every pregnant young woman to obtain the education, skills, and support needed to become self-sufficient.

Usborne Books & More e-Bookfair
(through March 31, 2010)
Help us increase the literacy and school readiness of our young mothers and their children with gifts from Usborne Books and More! We receive 50% in matching free books for every purchase. For example, if someone spends $25 on books, then $12.50 will be allotted to FCP to purchase books. We will be purchasing books to give to our clients for use with their children, as well as books for the classrooms. These are high quality, developmentally appropriate books for infants and up to children in early middle school. We also have a wish list on the e-Bookfair that allows folks to purchase books directly for us, for which we also receive the 50% matching credit. For more information, contact Andrea DeMille at (843) 991-9587 or andrea_demille@yahoo.com or visit e-Bookfair.
