SCORE Charleston Helps Amor Healing Kitchen Serve Their Community
The nonprofit was founded by Maria Kelly, who saw a television news segment about the Ceres Community Project in California and felt galvanized to start a similar program in Charleston.
Encouraged by her high school students who said they’d love to participate, she left her job as a teacher with Charleston County School District to start Amor Healing Kitchen in 2018.
In the six years since, Kelly has grown the nonprofit to the point where it delivers 500 to 600 meals to the homes of Charleston locals facing chronic illnesses every Friday.

SCORE: 60 Years of Small Business Success
Helping 17 Million Entrepreneurs achieve their dreams
SCORE proudly celebrates 60 years of helping America’s small businesses launch, grow and thrive. Since 1964, more than 17 million entrepreneurs have received support from SCORE, a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
Today, SCORE has a nationwide network of more than 10,000 volunteers serving all 50 U.S. states and territories, guiding entrepreneurs on their path to success.
We believe that anyone can start and manage a successful small business. We also know that the road is harder for some than for others.

SCORE is listening, recognizes these diverse needs, and provides personalized support in a wholly-inclusive platform called SCORE for All.
Since 1964, SCORE has educated and mentored more than 11 million small business owners and entrepreneurs. We're looking for people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to serve in a variety of roles — from knowledgeable business mentors to local community advocates.
