COVID-19: Statewide Volunteers Needed for School Meal Preparation and Distribution
The United Way of South Carolina and the South Carolina Department of Education are working together to identify potential volunteers to help school food authorities prepare and distribute meals to children across the state.


If you are over the age of 21, would like to volunteer in a school district, and have NOT experienced any symptoms of illness in the past 14 days, please follow the step by step instructions below to register.
1. Go to www.VolunteerSC.org, scroll down, and click view details under the ongoing need entitled "Statewide - School Meal Preparation and Distribution."
2. Scroll down again and click the blue "Respond" tab in the bottom right corner.
3. Potential volunteers will then need to provide information to create an account if you are not already registered.

After entering the required information, please make sure that you complete the registration process by clicking the blue "Submit Need Response" tab in the bottom left of the page.
