More help for homeless kids
S&S Food
Sores donated $6,250 to the
Columbia County School
District Homeless Education
Program at Tuesday night’s
school board meeting.
The money will be used to
provide basic necessities to
about 385 homeless children
in the county. Funded by the
state, the homeless
education program can
provide students with
educational supplies but
must rely on the community
to provide food, clothing
and hygiene items. “We are
just so blessed,” said
Huggins. “This is a very
giving and kind community.”
In November S&S employees
purchased food and clothing
for homeless students. Brown
said the company decided to
support the homeless program
after discussing it at a
school advisory meeting and
reading about the program in
the Lake City Reporter.
