PALMETTO GIVING DAY is almost here — and there are so many ways to support SOS Care!

Whether you want to give, rally your friends, or simply help us spread the word, every action strengthens the community that surrounds autistic and intellectually disabled individuals here in the Grand Strand.

💙 1. Make a Pledge
If you already know you want to give on May 6–7, you can make a pledge now. It takes less than a minute and helps SOS Care plan for impact.

WOW! We can’t thank The Harley Shop at the Beach enough for their incredible support of our 8th Annual Ride for Autism in memory of Ryan Derr.

This year was our biggest ride to date, and we are so grateful to everyone who showed up—not only to support SOS Care’s Project Lifesaver Program, but also to stand beside the Derr family during this difficult time.

We know Ryan gave us picture-perfect weather and brought everyone together for a record-breaking ride. 💙

A special thank you to the Horry County Police Department for the ride es**rt, SC-1 Axemen, Breda Catering, Bean Dreaming, the Beaver Bar, all of our generous sponsors, and our amazing volunteers—we truly couldn’t do this without you!

We're hoping SOS Care can help fill some of these these gaps:

April marks Autism Awareness Month, and with diagnoses on the rise, advocates are calling attention to ongoing gaps in care, education, and access to resources

🌳✨ A New Chapter Opens at Oak Tree Farm ✨🌳

Tuesday, we cut the ribbon on Phase 4 — and with it, we opened the doors to 48 new homes filled with possibility, independence, and belonging.

What began as a vision is now a thriving, growing community where adults with autism and intellectual disabilities can live, learn, and flourish. Seeing these new homes come to life — and watching future residents walk through their doorways with pride — is a moment we’ll carry for a long time.

This milestone isn’t just about buildings.
It’s about dignity. Opportunity. Community. Hope.

To everyone who has supported Oak Tree Farm — families, donors, volunteers, partners, neighbors — you helped make this expansion possible. And today, your impact is written into every porch light, every sidewalk, every key handed to a new resident ready to begin their next chapter.

Here’s to growth.
Here’s to inclusion.

Here’s to 48 new reasons to celebrate.



💚 Welcome home, Phase 4.
The best is still ahead.

The ribbon was cut Tuesday, April 21 on Phase 4 of Oak Tree Farm, an SOS Care Community at 2358 Oak Tree Farm Lane in Conway. A crowd of residents, parents, volunteers, elected officials and business leaders came out to witness the event.
