I never said I was entitled, thank you very much. I am a responsible parent, I buy all my son's…Read More clothes, school items, necessities, etc with my money with no help from his father. I have no family to ask for help from even if I did need it. I'm just saying that the Federal Government supplies the money for the food because of people needing the assistance. The School District tries to help as many kids as it can because they can. It's nice when people help for that reason and no other, and idiots like you probably are those that grumble about people getting assistance because you don't qualify. I want what's best for my kid, I think most people can understand that. If not, oh well.

Samantha - How disappointing is the info in this Article! I am a long time supporter of the…Read More Lexington YMCA and while looking on the web today I came across this post. So I called Adam the Director of the Lexington YMCA and I have Great News for you today. For starters, hats off to the KOHLS Care Crew who volunteered last week at the Lexington YMCA with snacks and food and their time All for FREE! Thanks KOHL's employees across the state who were here to give of their time and dedication to giving back to our communities. I also must say Thank you for all of the Corporate Sponsors that assist our YMCA's and help these kids have the opportunity to get involved in sports, camps, summer and afterschool programs throughout the year.
But best of all, they are working with a sponsor to have the ability to have lunch for the families whose child needs assistance. Adam is working as hard as they can to get this program in place as soon as they possibly can.
We need to work together for solutions and in Lexington we are family and Family helps Family.
So Adam let us know where else you need help so as a community we can rise up and support what ya'll are doing with this great summer camp program and sports programs that are offered here in Lexington, SC for our kids! THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING AT OUR Y!!!!

Galen, I agree with you. No one is entitled to these free lunches. The YMCA can decide what programs…Read More they participate in and while they may have access there are many other reasons why they may choose not to do so. If Samantha is uinhappy with the YMCA, I suggest she find another venue for her child. Personally we cannot afford the YMCA, and I find other venues for my children. As to the financial aid, there is only so much and at times facilities must say "it is used up" find some place else. TOo many parents abuse the financial aid through facilities, the state, churches and ruin it for others. It is time that people take responsibility.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of attending high school with Rick. I personally…Read More lost my husband at a young 46 years old over a year ago. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. We never understand why God seems to take all the good men first, but maybe one day we will personally see why. May family and friends give you strength and may you always cherish those sweet memories you had with each other. My deepest condolscences. Sheri Baughman Howle

Terrorists seem to strike in very big cities and/or at big events. I don't think anyone can feel…Read More 100% safe in large gatherings, marathons, parades, sporting events, etc. anymore. There is no complete defense against terrorism-- finding out who planted the bombs in Boston will help us in preventing the next assault. Drive-by shootings and dealths by guns/handguns happen hundreds of times a week in the US anyway, but no one seems very concerned about this for some reason.

@ Janie... I partially agree with you... None can feel 100% safe anymore and that's sad but you have…Read More to live each day to the first and not let the terrors of the world stop you from sending functions... Than they win. But you're wrong about no one caring about the every day violence of handguns. For almost a year now the government has been having a debate about gun laws and gun safety... Though I may not agree with everything that's been said... We are in the process of turning this country around.... Get put there and vote- help make the difference

I agree with Jessica! I so hate what we have become . Our children can't play in their own yard…Read More without constant supervision . We have to be more watchful of our surroundings. Everyone is too busy to lend a helping hand to anyone anymore . We all need to take a step back and have more love and respect for one another . If we stand together we can make a big difference .

Do your kids ride the bus? Do you feel that they're safe geting off and walking home alone?
