Celebrate the Spirit of Giving with Palmetto Carriage Works and One80 Place This Christmas

The holiday season is a time for joy, connection, and giving back to the community. This year, Palmetto Carriage Works is embracing that spirit in a truly magical way. Partnering with One80 Place, the largest provider of shelter and services to those experiencing homelessness in the Charleston area, they are offering free Christmas caroling carriage rides to bring festive cheer to the streets of Charleston and support an incredible cause.

A Festive Tradition with Heart

Picture yourself riding through Charleston’s historic City Market, surrounded by twinkling lights and the soft glow of holiday décor, while harmonizing to your favorite carols. These complimentary carriage rides are more than just a delightful holiday tradition—they are an opportunity to spread cheer and raise awareness for those in need.

Each carriage is beautifully decorated to reflect the holiday spirit, creating the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re a Charleston local or visiting for the season, this is a must-do activity that combines fun and philanthropy.

How It Works

Palmetto Carriage Works is hosting the caroling rides on December 13th and 14th only from 6:00PM – 8:00PM. While the rides are free, guests are asked to make donations of their choice to One80 Place during the event. All contributions go directly to supporting One80 Place’s mission of helping individuals and families transition from homelessness to permanent housing.

These donations are a way for the community to come together and ensure that everyone has the opportunity for a brighter, more stable future.

Why Support One80 Place?

One80 Place has been a cornerstone of support in the Charleston area, providing shelter, meals, job training, and other essential services to those in need. Last year alone, they helped hundreds of individuals and families secure housing and achieve greater stability. Your donation helps sustain these critical programs during the holiday season and beyond.
