WEST COLUMBIA, SC -- Lexington Two announces two ways for area youth to get meals this summer through a federally funded child nutrition program that provides free, nutritious breakfast and lunch meals through the months when youth are out of school.
Lexington Two’s sponsorship of the Summer Food Service program makes free meals available for youth ages 18 and younger. They do not have to attend Lexington Two schools to participate.
There are two options for meals. Participants are allowed one breakfast and one lunch per day and therefore can only participate in one meal option. Questions? Call 803-739-4010.

New this summer: Meal bundles for camp participants
Students attending camp at a Lexington Two school now have the option to register for take home meals for days they are not at camp. For example, if a camper is attending a school camp Monday-Thursday, upon Thursday departure they can take home a meal bundle for breakfast and lunch for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Students at Camp GG, which operates Tuesday-Thursday, can take home meals for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Camp families who would like to participate in this option will need to reserve these meal bundles in advance.
