Who We Are

OUR MISSION

Bluffton Self Help empowers Lowcountry residents to improve their lives by paving pathways to personal success and building communities of opportunity.

Bluffton Self Help is the Lowcountry’s leading community-centered organization, promoting independence and self-sufficiency through direct services, advocacy and alliances that eliminate economic vulnerability and improve the quality-of-life for all neighbors in need. Founded in 1987 by Mrs. Ida Martin, their goal is to help local neighbors in need of food, clothing, educational and financial assistance, as well as to provide programs that promote self-worth, dignity and create a pathway to personal success.

What We Do

Core Services

Learning & Skill Development 

Our learning and skill development services empower, mentor and advocate for individuals and families to improve their lives and livelihoods providing one-on-one support to set and achieve individual goals. Personal success may be achieved through career development, skill building, and mentorship.

Basic Education 

Basic education & literacy services help neighbors participate in our communities, obtain a higher level of employment and higher standard of living.

Resource Coordination  

Opening doors to opportunity through connecting neighbors with resources. Our Resource Coordination services help neighbors get back on their feet, connect with other local resources, address critical needs and provide safety net services through financial relief.

Basic Needs & Wellness 

Our basic needs and wellness services are often the first step on one’s path to success and help neighbors stretch their budget and meet their basic needs. We know individuals must first have their basic needs met before they can truly start to succeed. Ida Martin’s Market provides neighbors with healthy, nutritious groceries once a week to promote a healthy life and fuel to succeed. Special holiday groceries are also provided 3 times a year. Other basic needs services include the Holiday Toy Shop, Fresh Xpress Markets, hygiene items, diapers and cleaning items to help stretch budgets and promote financial independence.
