Greenville County deputies giving away free boxed lunches

GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) said it is hosting a free boxed lunch giveaway for those in need.

Deputies said the lunches are funded by the Isaiah 40:31 Foundation, which generously donated funds to purchase roughly 160 meals from The Honey Baked Ham Company for deputies to hand out on Monday.

The giveaway took place at 11:30 a.m. at the GCSO Central Annex located at 1200 Pendleton Street.

Sheriff Hobart Lewis said it was a blessing to be part of the event and strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the community.

The sheriff’s office said they also plan to deliver meals to homeless camps across the Upstate on Tuesday. One Wednesday, another drive-thru meal giveaway will be held at Poe Mill.

We will update when a time is released for Wednesday’s event.
