At Old Whaling Company, our roots run deep along the Charleston coast, and so does our belief in the power of community. From day one, we’ve been inspired by the people, places, and organizations that make Charleston such a special home for our small business. This Giving Tuesday, we’re honored to give back to the neighbors who lift us up all year long.
For a small, family-run business like ours, supporting local organizations is a part of who we are. When we choose to invest in the wellbeing of our community, we’re investing in the families who visit our shops, our team who lovingly handcrafts our bar soaps, candles, and more (!), and the future of the Charleston. Giving locally means helping create the kind of world we want our company to grow in.
Spotlight: Bridges of Hope – A Beacon for Children in Grief
This year, we’re proud to support Bridges of Hope in North Charleston, a remarkable nonprofit providing grief counseling and emotional support for children who have lost a parent or caregiver. Their work is tender, compassionate, and profoundly important. Bridges of Hope offers a safe place for children to process loss, connect with others who understand their pain, and begin rebuilding a sense of stability and hope. Their team walks alongside families during their darkest moments, helping young hearts heal with guidance, patience, and love. It is an honor to stand with them and help uplift their mission.
How We’re Giving Back This Year
On Giving Tuesday, Old Whaling Company will donate 25% of all online sales to Bridges of Hope. Every order placed helps provide counseling, resources, and support to children who truly need it.
As a small thank-you for joining us in this effort, we are also offering a free Old Whaling Co. tote bag with every online Giving Tuesday purchase. 
When you shop online this Giving Tuesday, your support will directly help shine a light for families navigating loss.
