$20,000 Donation!!! Fueling the Future in Jasper County! ⛽📚
Yesterday, the Parker’s Kitchen celebrated the ribbon cutting of its new location on East Argent Parkway in Hardeeville—marking another exciting addition to our growing community.
During the celebration, Greg Parker, Founder and CEO of Parker’s Kitchen, presented a $20,000 “Fueling the Community” check to the Jasper County School District to support local students and education.
Dr. Laura Hickson, Interim Superintendent of Jasper County School District, accepted the check on behalf of the district. Dr. Hickson shared that the funds will be used to expand the district’s Beyond the Bell tutoring program into the summer months, helping prevent summer learning loss and providing additional Summer Learning opportunities for our student scholars.
Harry Williams, City of Hardeeville staff, Jasper County representatives, and community members were proud to take part in this special milestone.
We are grateful to Parker’s Kitchen for investing in our students and helping fuel the future of education in Jasper County! 🚀📖
