Photos: Lexington Police, Serve & Connect feed community at Bountiful Harvest

On Nov. 22, the Lexington Police Department and Serve & Connect held the fifth annual Bountiful Harvest at the Icehouse Amphitheater. The pre-Thanksgiving event provided 250 holiday-themed Greg’s Groceries food boxes filled with non-perishable food to feed families in need for a week, which were assembled in the morning before a sit-down meal and a community resource fair. The Lexington County Sheriff's Department and the Cayce and West Columbia Police Department had booths set up and were handing out badge stickers to the attending children.

"Partnerships and outreach to our community are part of our ongoing strategic plan and Bountiful Harvest continues to be an event where we see how our department, our community partners, and Serve & Connect can positively impact those in need on so many different levels," Lexington Police Chief Terrence Green is quoted in a release.
