United Way of Lancaster County, SC

06/11/2026

Due to an overwhelming response this year, the United Way of Lancaster County has distributed all the Senior Farmers Market Vouchers that the state has given to us. We are on a "priority list" to get more vouchers, but we are not sure if or when that might be. UWLC staff will be at Kershaw Second Baptist Church on Friday from 10-1 to sign people up for the waitlist. Please come with your ID, proof you live in Lancaster County, and sign up to get a call if/when we get more vouchers. Please be patient with staff as we go through this process. Do not arrive before 9:30 please. Staff will not be there before then.
