At REV Crafters, our mission is to use our crafting talents to #UPTHEGOOD in our local communities. Through crochet, sewing, and assembly, we create handmade items that bring comfort, care, and hope to those in need. Our projects support a range of organizations, including Project Linus, Roper Cancer Center, MUSC and Roper NICU, the Ryan White Center, and Lowcountry Veterans to name a few. Each item we make is crafted with love and delivered locally to make a difference where it matters most.

Using our crafting talents to UP THE GOOD in our community—one handmade item at a time.

REV Adopted a Route at Meals on Wheels of Summerville!

It takes a village to feed the hungry. No that’s not the original quote but it sure seems appropriate when you visit us around 11 am and see the volume of people lined up to deliver meals. If you know what a LeMans start is to an old race… It seems like we should have an announcer in the background “And THEY’RE OFF!”

Truth be told, there’s no better day than one where you deliver to the homebound. You see the smile and are certain of the difference you make just by bringing a meal.

What does it take to be a volunteer? Besides the obvious compassion and love of community – you only need to be present to lend a hand. Our volunteers carry many jobs in helping to end hunger in Summerville. We’re sure we can find one to fit your time and talent which you’ll enjoy!

The HQ Tacoma is reserved if youwould like to use REV’s wheels instead of your own personal vehicle. 
Meal pickup starts at 11:00 AM at Ambler Hall located at:
St. Paul's Anglican
316 W. Carolina Ave.
Summerville, SC 29483
(843) 873-1991

Reality Town is a financial education activity hosted by Dorchester District 2 (DD2) specifically geared towards 8th grade students. Similar to REV's Reality of Money financial simulation, Reality Town provides students with a random profile, and requires them to visit key stations as they attempt to put together a fully functioning budget that reflects the age/education/credit/marital status provided during the activity.

Required Documentation:

Dorchester District 2 requires ALL volunteers to complete this form to confirm that you will be participating. This means you'll need to register on REV Cares to log your volunteer hours, as well as complete the required DD2 form. 

As a kickoff to concert season, REV, Live Nation, and Plastic Ocean Project are teaming up for a cleanup day at Greenfield Park. The cleanup will focus on the area of the park near the Amphitheater.

Each pint of blood we collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more. What a great way to pay it forward and make an impact on people in our community and across the country. REV is excited to continue rolling up our sleeves as an organization!

Simply head to www.redcrossblood.org to sign up. Go to FIND A DRIVE and type REV for a list of available times.

There is a critical need for blood at this time! It’s not every day that we do something that has such a lifesaving impact.

General volunteer hours related to the needs of My Sister's House.

You may count an hour of volunteer time if you collect needed supplies and stock the Blessing Box in Riegelwood. Located near Riegelwood Ballpark at the stop sign on Waccamaw Dr. (across from the Piggly Wiggly). 

Needed supplies include:

Canned fruits and vegetables

Canned or pouch soups

Canned or pouch chicken, tuna, or salmon

Peanut Butter

Plastic Jam/ Jelly containers

Instant Rice / Oatmeal

Boxes of Cereal

Small bottles of laundry detergent, shampoo, soap, etc. 

If you have a team member that wants to periodically check the box to see what is most needed that is great! You can also reach out to Mariah McDonald who organized and installed the box. 

Select an area Blessing Box to donate to and #UPTHEGOOD. This is a fantastic team building activity for branches and departments. Simply select your chosen Blessing Box from the following list and grab a few non-perishable food items, basic toiletries, or baby supplies while on your normal grocery run. From there, you can coordinate dropping off the items at the location selected with your team. 

Don't forget to snap a few photos! 

Hey REV Crafters! Please sign up here for general REV Crafter Activities that don't fall into other nonprofit areas already in the system (ex: Project Linus)!  This way we count every amazing hour you contribute into the REV Crafters total hours!  Please adjust your hours as needed. 

You can #UPTHEGOOD by collecting pop tabs – they help keep the lights on and doors open for Rondal McDonald House families!

Check with your department or branch to see where to drop them off to be donated!

"The price of aluminum fluctuates on the stock market (typically from 35-85 cents/pound), and that is the amount of money that we get from recycling the pop tabs. The money we get from this is used to cover our electric bill every month, so the pop tabs make a huge difference to the RMHC Charleston House! The families here at RMHC Charleston are so thankful for your ongoing support."

Work with our team to put together small gifts for our local NICU nurses. Some months it will be attaching candies to cards and other months it may be stuffing bags with various goodies.

REV Day 2023 introduced our Helping Hands soap and dish scrubbies in-kind donations. Grab your needles and join the REV Crafters in their efforts to REV Up a local habitat home. 

Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for women who have had breast cancer and undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional breast prosthetics can be hot, heavy and sticky. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are adjustable, washable and can even be worn while swimming. Our special volunteer knitters provide these FREE to those requesting them.

Connect with Jennifer Koon and the REV Crafters Club to learn more!

We're teaming up with Project Linus to share new, handmade, washable blankets for seriously ill or traumatized children. Become a "Blanketeer" to help comfort children in need. This easy, no-sew activity can be done on your own time, and is a terrific opportunity to work as a team or with family and friends at home. All needed materials are available to you through the Employee and Community Engagement Team. 

The hearts are called “Bonding Hearts.” Baby keeps one and Mama keeps one for 24 hours effectively transferring their scent to it. Then they switch. This way, Mama has baby’s scent (encouraging breast milk production during their separation) and baby gets Mama’s scent (teaching baby what Mama smells like). The Gtube covers are typically used by babies who have “Graduated” the NICU. Sometimes, the only way they can go home is with a small “port” in their stomach where they can get nutrition.

For the heart pattern, here is what you do:

Volunteers are an important and integral part of Richmond County Hospice, Inc. We invite you to enjoy the personal satisfaction and rewards of helping others.

As a Hospice volunteer, you are an essential part of our organization, helping us to serve our patients with peace, comfort, and dignity.

The success of the North Carolina Azalea Festival is made possible through the hard work and dedication of a large corps of community volunteers. Nearly 100 volunteer committees plan and organize events such as the Parade, the Waterfront Street Fair, the Spring Soiree and the community clean-up called Azalea Sweep, as well as critical operations such as communications, transportation, sponsor relations and event hospitality.

Volunteer opportunities may be available for a single day or involve a year-round commitment. The level of involvement you choose depends on your interests and availability. We will work to get you involved in a way that you find both meaningful and enjoyable. Communication with potential new volunteers generally occurs in the beginning of the Fall, and periodically throughout Festival season (Oct-April).

Every year following the Festival we host a special party for all of the Volunteers that helped with the Festival events as a thank you. There are also social events for the Committee Chairs of each of our Committees.

Your volunteer time will be spent helping the food insecure in our community by organizing, packing and distributing food to individuals and families in need. 

Volunteer days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 9:30am - 12pm. 

We can also pack kits at the branch as supplies and time permits.  This includes food kits and hygiene kits. 

When you log your hours please note if your time was spent at Our Daily Bread onsite or at the branch creating kits. Your travel time to drop off the kits can be included in your volunteer time. 

Participation in CCUL Chapter events that help aid in the advancement of credit unions' purpose through local and regional means.
