For over 20 years our United Way of Kershaw County has partnered with the Kershaw County School District with funding from the US Department of Agriculture and the SC Department of Education to provide the Summer Food Program to summer programs throughout the county. Last year they provided nearly 40,000 breakfasts, lunches and snacks to camps, schools, recreation programs, church groups, and other programs throughout Kershaw County. These meals help support educational and recreational programs so that they can serve our youth longer, with more impact and meet their hunger and nutritional needs during the summer months.
This year we have multiple sites including schools, arts, music, recreational programs and churches throughout the county. The programs operate throughout the county on various dates from June 2 to July 18. For more information, call Alicia Bixby at (803) 310-5213.
The Summer Food Program is an extension of food programs provided throughout the school year at area schools and is a great way to ensure that our youth have supplemental recreational, literacy, arts and other activities throughout the summer break. The United Way of Kershaw County, the Kershaw County School District and our many partnering summer programs are excited to provide the Summer Food Program in and for our community.
