Smash Homelessness
The Refinery
1640 Meeting Street Rd., Charleston, SC 29405
Smash Homelessness returns to Charleston for its second year, bringing together 24 of the city's most celebrated chefs, restaurants, and local personalities for a one-day event where food meets purpose. Each ticket unlocks a one-of-a-kind experience - when you arrive, you'll be assigned a chef at random to create an exclusive smash burger just for you. This event directly supports organizations providing shelter, resources, and long-term solutions for individuals experiencing homelessness in Charleston and surrounding counties.
Why We Like It
- Enjoy a surprise collaboration between Charleston's culinary community and you, the attendee.
- All proceeds go directly to Hoops Against Homelessness, a local charity founded by a 6-year-old that provides shelter, resources, and long-term solutions.
- In 2025, the event raised over $16,000 to support the local community.
Who Should Attend
This event is perfect for food lovers, philanthropists, and anyone who wants to make a difference in their community. Whether you're a longtime Charleston resident or visiting the city, Smash Homelessness offers a unique opportunity to connect with local chefs, creators, and community leaders while supporting a worthy cause.
