Mayor Goodwin Launches Connect Charleston

Mayor Goodwin today launched Connect Charleston, a reimagined Charleston Walks program, which will proactively engage Charleston residents by phone. 

“We had planned to launch our Charleston Walks program this spring. Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have been unable to move forward with door-to-door visits,” said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin. “During this time, feeling connected is so important. That is why we have reimagined the program so that we can still engage folks from across the City while maintaining appropriate social distancing. Instead of knocking on your door, our City team will be calling you to check in and see if there are issues we can help troubleshoot.”  

Mayor Goodwin announced the Charleston Walks program during her 2020 State of the City address. The program has been adapted to encourage social distancing while maintaining a sense of connectedness. 

Calls placed to residents, as part of the Connect Charleston program, will come from the Mayor's Office phone line: 304-348-8174.  Charleston residents who want to connect with the Mayor or Mayor's Office regarding a City issue or COVID-19 can also call that same number (304-348-8174) for assistance.
