BEAUFORT COUNTY, S.C. — The Beaufort County School District (BCSD) is launching a new summer food program called Groceries-To-Go.
Children under 18 who qualify can get free weekly grab-and-go breakfast and lunch meal kits during the summer months.
“We want them to eat healthy,” said Walter Moody, General Manager Food and Nutrition for Beaufort County Schools. “We’re giving fresh fruits and vegetables from our local Gullah Farmers Cooperative.
