December 3, 2025 • Greg's Groceries
Hundreds of officers from across the Carolinas joined community volunteers to pack 2,000 Greg’s Groceries boxes at the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy, in partnership with Walmart. The energy, teamwork, and shared commitm
ent to service made the day one to remember.
We were honored to welcome Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette and South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy Director Jackie Swindler as guest speakers. Their support underscores the growing impact of Greg’s Groceries and the vital role law enforcement plays in building stronger, safer communities.
Since its founding in 2017, Greg’s Groceries has distributed more than 27,000 boxes through partnerships with over 80 agencies. In 2025 alone, officers have already packed more than 5,000 boxes, with over 3,000 distributed so far this year.
Following this week’s event, our grand total now stands at 29,340 boxes packed — the equivalent of more than two million meals delivered to families across the Carolinas.
During the event, we were proud to recognize our 2025 Agency of the Year and Officer of the Year award recipients:
Agency of the Year Winners
Officer of the Year Winners
We were also humbled to receive the U.S. Marshals Citizen of the Year Award, a recognition that reflects the dedication of our entire Serve & Connect team and the strength of our partnerships statewide.
A heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors for your generous support — this work would not be possible without you. And a special thank you to South Carolina DNR for cooking lunch for everyone after the event.
Together, we’re creating lasting connections and nourishing communities across the Carolinas. Thank you for being part of this mission.
