Our dream is for Spartanburg County to be a community where making the healthy choice is also the easy choice.

“PAL is a part of the Spartanburg Food System Coalition, and we coordinate to provide food security in Spartanburg County. Part of that goal is to provide access to healthy and nutritious foods. We found it very important to provide that for the community in the way that there are no barriers and where it was a communal space for people to gain access,” Jasmine Gilliam, Coalition Coordinator, said.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - PAL is an organization dedicated to making Spartanburg healthier. This year they’re making sure people have access to healthy and affordable foods. PAL has created a food hub, meaning they work with local farmers to bring fresh fruits and vegetables to schools, restaurants and dining room tables and now through free classes, they’ll even help you cook it.
PAL is so grateful for the partnership of the Spartanburg County Parks Department.
PAL: Play. Advocate. Live Well’s project will strengthen and expand its food hub’s capacity to serve more people in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and provide increased economic opportunities for producers and food businesses in the region.
On Thanksgiving morning, a couple thousand people — maybe more – will gather below Morgan Square before galloping around town for Spartanburg’s United Community Bank Turkey Day 8K.
