RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. — Monday through Friday from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. the Richland County Recreation Commission hosts 'Grab and Go' lunch specials.
The commission is set up at numerous community centers and parks throughout the county and is handing out 40 to 50 meals to anyone who comes by.
The Recreation Commission list sites on the Facebook page.
"We serve healthy wholesome foods with a fruit, milk, juice," says Yvonne Moatts, center supervisor at Polo Road park, "this maybe the only meal that some child or adult gets. The pandemic has really put a choke hold on parents who already struggling and this is a way we can provide something so they won’t completely go under."
Camion Mckinley is a parent who says having this resource is a big help.
"I’m just thankful and blessed to have an opportunity to come out here and get free food," says Mckinley, "with school being out and pandemic going on and people not fortunate enough to have money to provide this is great for the kids."
