Food Services

Upstate Circle of Friends, funded by USDA through the SC Department of Social Services since 2009, has provided thousands of meals through the UCF Summer and After-School Feeding program for Greenville County children at-risk of hunger. Meals are provided each weekday during the scheduled school year and the summer session to assure a hot, nutritious meal each weekday.

The Backpack Program assures containers stocked with nutritious, child-friendly, easy-to-prepare food to take home for out-of-school times, typically distributed on Fridays or the last day the children attend the site for the week.

Leaders, Learners, & Earners

The Leaders, Learners and Earners program began in 2021 as a Summer Camp to provide activities for under served and under resourced youth during spring and summer. Based on the needs identified while working with Department of Juvenile Justice and Justice Involved teens, a more holistic personal and professional development program was developed by Ms. Toya Moore.

Senior Meal Provider Program

We provide daily year round home-delivery of meals to seniors who are assessed to be "homebound", therefore cannot attend a congregate nutrition site, they are unable to shop and prepare food for themselves and they have no reliable support. The goal of this program is to provide a support service to enable senior adults to remain independent in their own homes. Eligibility for home delivered meal services are assessed by a case worker. For more information about this service or to sign up for this program.
