Beginning on Monday, April 27, free student meal services will resume with the support from Operation BBQ Relief until Friday, May 8. Operation BBQ Relief is a 501(c)(3) Disaster Relief Organization that was founded in May of 2011 to help the community of Joplin, Missouri, after a devastating tornado.  Since then, Operation BBQ Relief has responded to many impacted by natural disasters in 26 states, serving over three million meals. 

This venture was made possible through the efforts of the South Carolina Department of Education and the South Carolina National Guard which allows us to resume bus-delivered meals and 13 pick-up locations. With the many challenges facing families in our area, we are pleased to be able to help the students of Horry County by continuing to provide meals during this difficult time.  

View a complete list of the 13 pick-up locations and bus-delivery locations.

Again, these meal services will run Monday through Friday, from Monday, April 27, through Friday, May 8.
