During the month of March, Lions from all across South Carolina have walked the main streets of their respective cities, towns and communities as part of the first annual “South Carolina Lions Walk for Sight” to increase public awareness of Lions’ humanitarian services in our state and around the world.  Highlighting their motto, “WE SERVE,” Lions focused public attention on their roles as servants of the less fortunate throughout the world and providers of a better quality of life to many residents of the Palmetto State.  

The South Carolina Food Policy Council would like to welcome new board members Hub City Farmers Market Executive Director Ana Parra, York County Clemson Extension Agent Ben Boyles, Horry County Clemson Extension Agent Blake Lanford, and Darcy Freedman, Assistant Professor of Social Work and Centenary Faculty in Social Disparities at the University of South Carolina, to the SC Food Policy Council’s Board of Directors.
