WEST COLUMBIA, SC -- During the 2020-21 school year, Lexington Two students will be able to get free breakfast and lunch meals for curbside pickup during times when classes are not meeting on the school campus.
Meals are available for pickup at select school sites. Times and locations are typically announced in advance of holiday breaks or school closures.
If you plan to pick up meals at one of the school sites, preordering of free meals is recommended to ensure availability. Instructions for curbside pickup are outlined below.
