Aflac Donates $10,000 to Serve & Connect in support of Greg's Groceries!
Aflac has donated $10,000 to support Greg’s Groceries, the signature initiative of Serve & Connect’s Compassionate Acts Program, which provides thousands of boxes of non-perishable food to individuals and families in need.
Greg’s Groceries is the inaugural and signature program of Serve & Connect’s Compassionate Acts Program (CAP) which focuses on providing resources to local law enforcement that may not otherwise be available. Greg's Groceries is our flagship CAP initiative which provides boxes of nonperishable food for local law enforcement to deliver to individuals or families experiencing hunger or food insecurity. Each box contains enough food to feed a family of four for a week and special to this program every box of food handed out is packed with love by local police officers at a Greg’s Groceries packing event.
The donation provided by Aflac will make it possible for Serve & Connect to increase our support to law enforcement across South Carolina. It makes it possible to distribute 2,000 boxes of Greg's Groceries to at least 50 agencies statewide.
