About Us

Keep Your Faith Corporation (KYFC) began in 2006 as a group of volunteers from Charleston’s West Side providing free literacy classes for our friends and neighbors.

Back then, this extra educational support was the most our small team could offer, but we always knew there was more work to be done. As we grew, we felt a responsibility to bridge other gaps as we identified them.

Over the years, we’ve worked hard to turn our volunteer-led labor of love into a full-time effort. We spend every day working to empower our neighbors through a variety of programs focused on increasing access to fresh produce, culturally-sensitive behavioral healthcare, workplace development and training, and more.

No matter what obstacles stand in your way, our team is here to support you and provide you with the tools you need to succeed—however you define it.

Our Vision

At Keep Your Faith Corporation, our work is fueled by the belief that every person deserves to be cherished, heard, and nurtured exactly as they are. We’re committed to lifting up the best (often unacknowledged, under-valued) parts of ourselves and each other. 

We’re committed to nurturing a community that celebrates our strengths and values inclusivity. Our goal is to promote equitable access to fresh, nutritious food options, ensuring each member thrives in a community that encourages healthy living. We're dedicated to providing meaningful job opportunities for all, fostering unity and equity. We stand in unity, supporting each other through victories and obstacles, as we create a brighter future for our entire community.

Ultimately, it comes down to having faith: faith in our capacity to effect positive change in our lives and community, hand in hand.

Our Values

  • We’re dedicated to helping build a community where everyone is safe, healthy, and feels like they belong.

  • We aim to ensure that all of our neighbors—regardless of age, race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other aspects of their identity—have opportunities to flourish.

  • We believe in equipping people with the tools to create positive change for themselves and those around them.
