MUSC Health is expanding its Kids Eat Free program to serve more children across South Carolina. The initiative, which was first launched in Charleston, aims to help families by providing nutritious meals to kids in need.
The program offers free meals to children under the age of 18 who are accompanied by a paying adult. It is designed to help families who may struggle with food insecurity while also encouraging healthy eating habits.
In a move to broaden its reach, MUSC Health is now extending this program to several locations throughout the state.
By partnering with local community organizations and food providers, the health system aims to ensure that more children have access to healthy meals. The expansion reflects MUSC Health’s ongoing commitment to supporting the health and well-being of South Carolina’s youth.
MUSC Health’s Kids Eat Free program not only provides meals but also promotes community engagement, bringing together local families, healthcare providers, and organizations to address child hunger in a meaningful way.
The program is part of a broader effort to improve public health and address the rising rates of childhood obesity by providing healthier options for children in need.
The program’s expansion comes at a time when many families are facing increased financial challenges. By offering free meals, MUSC Health hopes to reduce the burden on parents while promoting better nutrition for children across the state.
With the growing need for such initiatives, MUSC Health is proud to continue its efforts to make a positive impact on South Carolina’s communities.
