I extend my deepest condolences to the South Lynches Fire Department on the passing of Chief David Malone.

Chief Malone dedicated his life to service, leadership, and the safety of others. His commitment to his community and his department leaves behind a legacy that will not be forgotten.

During this difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, the South Lynches Fire Department, and all who had the honor of knowing and working alongside him. May God grant you strength, comfort, and peace in the days ahead.

It is with deep sorrow that I join the citizens of Lake City in mourning the loss of Dr. Eddie Floyd, a proud native of Lake City, South Carolina, whose life was about service, compassion, and a deep commitment to others.

Dr. Floyd's impact reached far and near. He dedicated his life to improving the well-being of others not only through his professional work, but through compassion and leadership. His contributions strengthened our county and helped pave the way for future generations.

On behalf of the citizens of Lake City, I extend our deepest condolences to Dr. Floyd’s family, friends, and all those whose lives were impacted by his compassion and leadership. His legacy of service, faith, and commitment for caring for others will forever be a part of our community.

May God give comfort, peace, and strength to his family during this time of sorrow.

🙏🏾❤️🕊️RIP Ms. Helen

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of one of our Walmart family members. Please keep her family, friends, and Walmart family in your thoughts and prayers in the days to come.

Attention all citizens of Lake City for this week's trash pickup schedule 👇🏾👇🏾

Florence County! We have some exciting news to share! Starting Monday, August 11, all our routes in Florence County are officially FARE FREE!

Huge thanks to Florence County for making this possible and helping us move toward a more accessible and connected community.

This decision will stop wasteful spending on an outdated fare systems and redirect dollars to where they matter most: more reliable buses, better service and expanded access to jobs, healthcare and opportunity.

The majority of our funding comes from federal dollars but only when matched locally. With this investment, Florence County helps unlock more of that funding and expands service without raising costs. This is conservative budgeting with real community impact!
