CARC Foundation

nurturing our community of seniors

We strive to enhance the life of the residents of Clemson Area Retirement Center through financial assistance, education, advocacy, & other charitable activities to promote health & well-being.

The Clemson Area Retirement Center Foundation (CARC Foundation, Inc.) is an organization created by residents and friends of Clemson Downs with the express intention of serving, assisting and advocating for seniors in the community.  While a separate entity from Clemson Downs, there is a shared mission of advocating for all seniors through education, donation, scholarships and occasional financial assistance to a resident(s) of Clemson Downs who may be in need.

We invite you to browse our website for more information and welcome  suggestions for future projects that fulfill our mission. Contact any board member or use our contact form. We want to hear from you.
