Happy Friday afternoon!

I know this week has been so wild. I hope everyone is safe and secure with power back on at your home. The school was open today for optional work and play time with pizza. We are so thankful for our local churches that were able to feed everyone for free! They brought pizza this morning along with drinks and cookies. It is times like these where depending on each other is so beneficial. It was a wonderful time to see our students here, working, and playing with one another. It looks like next week is a regular- 5 day week. We hope to see everyone on Monday, October 7th. If you have a need, please let me know and I will be happy to help. Have a safe weekend and we will see everyone soon!

Committed to Success,

Heather Touchberry

The produce boxes are $20 for customers paying with credit/debit and only $5 for customers paying with SNAP/EBT. Customers order their food box online, and can select sites in Dacusville, Easley, Liberty, or Clemson to pick up their box twice per month.
